Customer Question

To Whom It May Concern: 1...

To Whom It May Concern:

1. How do I know this is not a fraud to steal my identiy.
2. Why I don 't see in all the documents, the official stamp (seal) of the Canadian Lottery Office
    or the official seal of the Canadian Government or any Regulatory agency.
3. Why has been impossible for me to contact the Canadian Lottery Agency to corroborate
    this is thruth.
4. Why it has been impossible for me to get you at the telephones numbers indicated by
    you. All the phone numbers shown in your documents are personal telephones numbers
   and not official telephones numbers of the canadian lottery agency neither any government
   agency.

You can email me [email protected] If you assure me with all the guarantees and with no doubts, and not with words and/or printed documents, that I really won this amount of money, I will give the 33% of the total amount to you.

You can call me to XXX-XXX-XXXX Ext 241.

You are the second post I received today about this same "lottery."

It's all over the Internet and is sadly a scam.

You will soon be asked for significant fees for courier charges.

I am sorry this is the case but at least you asked before throwing away money.
