Marlyn delos Arcos commented, on April 14, 2008:

Oh... I have just replied the letter same as above before I browse information about the facts of the matter. anyway, thnx.... hahahaha

Virna commented, on May 22, 2008:

On April 30,2008, a Mr. Paul GAte with tel. no. +44-703-190-5203 sent me an e-mail notifying me of my winnings in an online lottery at the UK in the amount of 850,000 pounds. However, winners have to pay first for the delivery through Western Union addressed to Evans Prince at Parcel House, Unit A. Building 3, Marchburn Drive, Glasgow Airport Business Park,PA3 2PJ UK. Of course, I had to check first how true this is and it's a good thing the one about the BMW Promotions has already been brought out. Scams like these have to be reported to prevent others from falling for these things.

brian commented, on May 31, 2008:

i also recived same messages..i just wanna know if peter jones rili exist..

Tracey commented, on June 13, 2008:

This is a scam. Do not fall for it like I did. I received this same E-MAIL on June 10th,2008. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. You did not win anything. You do not get anything for not entering. How can you win a prize for something you did not enter? YOU CAN'T. Delete these E-MAILS and do not respond to them.

Shikha commented, on June 15, 2008:

This is a scam. Do not fall for it like I did. I received this same E-MAIL on Feb 14th,2008. Delete these E-MAILS and do not respond to them.

TONI commented, on September 1, 2008:

I RECEIVE ALSO THIS LETTER AND I DONT MIND THIS KIND OF FOOLISHNESS

lisa commented, on September 17, 2008:

I also received this one. it is deceiving at first because it does not ask for any bank account or credit card info, but my local bank has a warning posted about these types of scams. always be wary if it comes from the UK and you did not enter it. I highly encourage anyone who receives this type of email to notify the FBI or do like i did, i reported it to the teller at my bank, who took all the information. They have a system for reporting this to authorities and were very happy to do it. Remember people, NOTHING is free, and if you didn't enter it you didn't win it!!!!

JULIO commented, on September 19, 2008:

I RECIVE THE SAME INFORMATION THE 6/4/2008, I THOUGT IT'S TERRIFIC AND I SEND INFORMATION DRIVER LICENSES SCANNED AND THE REQUEST WAS IN 48 HRS, I NEEDED TO PAY $UD 2000.00 THEY PUT A TNT COURIER FROM LONDON, I DON'T KNOW IF MY INFORMATION THAT GET, COULD USES ON UNMYSELF.

Robert commented, on October 1, 2008:

I also received quite a number of the above e-mails, these people just dont want to leave you alone, i replied to it one and when they asked for a copy of my id, and certain amount of money i knew that something was wrong, i just thank THE LORD for protecting me against these scams, they can do real damage with your id copy in hand!!!

cherry of SLU commented, on November 4, 2008:

Ameen commented, on April 12, 2010:

Hi...

I too got some mails like this a fews days back, but I didn't follow it. They sent me a notification mail first and I just replied without giiving my personal info. This time they sent a mail to contact a courier company mail to know the status of my winning price, unfortunately (for them) the same mail was sent from that courier company's mail. This proved that the mail is fake and fishing and the black people behind this are fools... Today I got another notification in Arabic too with the same content (almost)...

Dear brothers and sisterns... don't follow them up and be trapped by them...
