I also recieved a sms with the message that I won a price of 350.000 pounds. I answered the first email, and recieved a new one. Than you have to choose the way to send your price, but you have to pay a transfer fee in front. What I read here, is that everybody lifes abroad…so it’s inpossible to take your price from the headoffice in Bristol. Everybody has to pay the Fee, and I believe this is all fake. I calles today with the phone number, wich they send in the email, They don’t pick up the phone with Orange Company UK, the man didn’t speak English very well, so I don’t trust it at all. The men on the phone told me, that I was very lucky,because they choose 30 people all over the world, who won a big amount of money!! It’s also strange that nobody from the UK, recieved an sms or email like this, because then you can pick up your price in Bristol….I am sorry to say, but this people are big cheaters!! Don’t pay money in front!!
Dear sir,
Pls inform me where do i contact the officialy legal authorization for knowing or check it out what our name or number really won the prize?
Or give me some advised where to reported the cheaters or scam to legal institution in UK?
Somebody pls share with us to stop the scammer and bring hem into jail !!!
