You have lost your money and
Thu, 2008/09/25 - 06:43You have lost your money and will not see it again. This is a scam. Anything that sounds too good to be true is always a scam. ALWAYS check email addresses and website URLs when you get emails "out of the blue" like this. Email addresses of the senders are often yahoo ones, rather than having the domain name of an official organisation like xxx@microsoft.com. Or the scammer will make a subtle spelling change of a proper organisation, for instance, Coutts Bank is well recognised and respected in the UK, however the URL you were given has an extra "s" in it: www.couttsS.com - and this is repeated on the webpage too. "Couttss Bank Pls UK..." etc.
All you can do is accept the learning and move on. This particular lesson cost you $120...

Watch out for lottery scams. If you receive an email from a lottery you did not enter, it is a scam.
In most cases the email accounts in the email are free email accounts and the phone number is a mobile phone.
NEVER send any money to the criminals behind these scams. If you do, they will just invent a new fee you have to pay, and if you pay that, they invent a new fee, etc etc until you give up or run out of money.
My friend Toshi had to give up his studies on the university because he sent the scammer all his own money as well as some borrowed money.
Another friend, Mr. Steward, also payed much more than he could afford, before he finally had to give up. His scammers were very convincing, and made him pay again and again.
Others have come in the same situation, and every time it happens it is a personal disaster for the victim.

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to
winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also
sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery
on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from
headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the
canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the
real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer
about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings
strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the interactive Lotteries Board Commission
