I am a Senior Fraud Victim Advocate with Fraudaid.org , first of all what you have experienced is what we call a Fake Lottery Scam. It is designed for one purpose only and that is to get innocent and unsuspecting people involved in the fantasy of winning a ton of money. They use this scam to do one of two things:
Launder money by sending you a check with your winnings letter and instructing you to depsosit the check and send off a portion of it to pay so called fees and taxes to free up your winnings OR for the purpose of getting you to pay advanced fees to gain access to your winnings. Here are the cold hard facts:
1. If you did not purchase a lottery ticket , you could not have won that lottery. Why? Lotteries only exist on the money gained through the sale of tickets. The money they get from people purchasing tickets IS the money or at least a portion of that money that is dished out in winnings.
2. IF you have gotten a surprise winning notification and a check from a lottery company you had better verify that the lottery is real and that the check was indeed issued to you by the " Account Holder". Most likely that check is Counterfeit and you can wind up in a heap of trouble either with your bank or legally if you cash it.
NEVER EVER send money to anyone you do not know via services like Western Union, Money Gram etc based on a sales pitch or promise. Those services are widely used to scam people out of hard earned money. Why? Simply put... once that money is sent and picked up at the other end there is NO way to retrieve it or to recover your losses.

Always remember ...
Silence is a thief's best friend... word-of-mouth is his worst enemy! Spread the word.
Thanks for the heads-up on FreeLotto. We lost 3 months of payments out of our credit card. We got suspicious when we wanted to unsubscribe and was informed that we had unclaimed monies i.e. $1 million dollars! Thanks to your organization, we are spared more aggravation by these people.
I'm winner with freelotto.

i wanna know wether this is a scam...i cant respond re my pending prices...?
I like getting those emails. I handle them in a number of ways, (My Favorite); I send them an email granting them the power to post any upfront monies to facilitate the collection and disbursement process. I further authorize them to recover 30% of any due monies for their assistance and admirable customer service treatment. And I then request them to remit the balance to me post haste. I get a laugh every time I don't receive any more of those emails.

I also received this scam lottery emails from Patrick Chambers stating that i won $1million. They keep on sending me unclimed fund from Freelotto from 1 million, 10, 000, 50, 000, and 300 US Dollars.
I was wodering why they keep on sending me too much amount and confirming my home address that I've thought they will send the check thru my address. Then suddenly after confirming my correct address. The next step to do is to give my VISA Card information so that I can claim my pending fund. I was planning to give the full visa card details of my husband but I was affraid that if I give the information it will make a big mistake because it's not mine. Then I opened it to my husband., then he told me that this free lotto is one of the scam that ones you respond on it you'll be one of the stupid people they fooled.
I recieve a email from freelotto that i won one million dollor. But i am not sure, if it is true how can i claim my prize with out credict card?
My email is edgwee2007@yahoo.com
i have been playing freelotto for 8 months and they have been deducting fees from my credit card monthly and few days ago they sent me an e-mail that i have pending one million dollors and a check under my name and address of one million dollors and a check number, i urge them to be honest and fair, and to send me the check, or other wise i will suw them by a loyer and track them down, emadudin shaikh, from saudi arabia, member of the royal palace familly

### you freelotto for wasting my time and my money
I have also got the same prize winning amount i.e. one million Dollers.
Even it is written in terms & conditions clause, that It is banned for INDIA, Ghana, and so on countries... than why the hell they are sending mails to indians...
i had email about winning lotto from freelotto too, asked me to give my credit card number, which i dont have, went to google to find out more, if its to true to fulfil my dreams, dreaming that i dont have to work hard soon, thanks googles, you have saved me, free lotto winning is scam, waste of time.There are other who sends you mail from post, of winning lottery certificate from south america, they ask for pass port, driver licence to fax them, and pay legal fee, US$1000, if not least US$700 if not $300, to get my winning $1M, I end up getting high phone bill calling them with my high expectation. but i didnt pay a cent logically.it is SCAM.dont waste your time and money.Its looting.

We are all in the same scam boat...same story...My advise is Do not play any freelotto on the web/net, pse only register at the official booth/office in your country to be safe. Playing lotto is gambling and be sure you are dealing with real gambling enterprises who are officially registered... just a friendly advice from the Republic of Fiji Islands.
