7 yearsTotally a scam! They tell you to pay some kind of fee before you can get your prize. Usually, they come up with stuff like insurance costs, government taxes, delivery charges, or bank fees. The trick is they keep taking money off you for these fake fees and keep dragging out the time before they "give" you any winnings. Stay clear!7 yearsSCAM ALERT! That bloke K#### Q#### from Leicester is a total fraud and a right muppet. Avoid him at all costs!Leicester7 yearsI got a letter claiming it was from the Euromillions and Commonwealth of Nations Lottery International, based in Forrest ACT, Australia. It said I'd won a big prize. To claim it, they told me to get in touch with DAVID POULSEN, who they said was the Foreign Service Manager at GLOBAL-TRUST CONSULTANTS. The letter included two phone numbers: 0121-227-6292 and a direct line at 0740-478-4857, with a deadline of 3rd MAY 2019. The letter was also signed off by a MR. SAMUEL NEWMAN.Commonwealth of NationsForrest ACTAustraliaDAVID POULSENSAMUEL NEWMAN7 yearsGot a call from 0121 227 6292, said it was about the Euromillions commonwealth lottery. Seems a bit dodgy to me.Commonwealth Lottery8 yearsThe phone number 0161 884 1027, belonging to someone called David Hague, seems like a total scam to me.David Hague8 yearsGot a letter saying I’d won £490k from something called Eurumillions Gold Coast and they gave me a number, Mr Derek Flintstone 0772-257-3286. They told me to keep it hush hush, but when I said I’d reported it, he just went quiet. Quite suspicious if you ask me.Derek Flintstone8 yearsMy grandparents received a letter about this, and it honestly looks like someone just whipped it up in Microsoft Word. To be honest, it seems pretty ridiculous. I'd steer clear of calling that number altogether.8 yearsGot a letter claiming I’d won a big prize from the Euromillions Commonwealth Lottery. It told me to get in touch with DEREK FLINTSTONE, who’s supposed to be the foreign service manager at GLOBAL-ACCESS CONSULTANTS. They gave a landline 0161-509-2609 and a mobile 0772-157-3286 to call. The letter was also signed off by a Mr. DAVID HAGUE. They said I’d have the cheque in the post by Friday 30th Nov so I’m nervously waiting now. Feels dodgy though, wondering if it’s just another scam. Would mark this as risky if I could.Commonwealth LotteryDEREK FLINTSTONEACCESSDAVID HAGUE8 yearsMight be a good idea to tell older neighbours about this ey, the Euromillions lottery scam. Loads of them don’t have computers and won’t ever see the alerts online. Just looking out for the grandads and grandmas really.8 yearsGot a letter claiming I won £490,000 from some Euromillions commonwealth lottery. It told me to get in touch with a Derek Flintstone at 0161-509-2609. The signature was from a David Hague. The paper quality was terrible, but I reckon it could trick older folks into handing over their details. Looks like they've swapped the phone number they're using now. Needless to say, the letter’s gone straight into the bin shredder.Euromillions Commonwealth LotteryDerek FlintstoneDavid Hague8 yearsGot a letter saying I won £490,000.00, which sounds great but I know it’s a scam. The note asked me to ring 0161 509 2609. It was supposedly from some Euromillions Commonwealth Lottery in Australia. Definitely not real!Commonwealth LotteryAustralia8 yearsGot the exact same letter but spotted the scam straight away. Honestly, these con artists should be thrown behind bars, they're absolute scammers.8 yearsMy partner's nan got this letter, said to be from the Euromillions committee, signed by some bloke called Mike Enock. It told her to ring the number provided. Bit fishy if you ask me.Mike Enock8 yearsI got a letter saying I'd won £580,000, but the grammar was shockingly bad. It was so obvious it was a scam.8 yearsGot a letter saying I'd won a lottery, but it looked dodgy and there was a number to ring. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!8 yearsReceived a phone call from someone claiming I'd won the EuroMillions Commonwealth. Decided to ring them back to see what they wanted, and they ended up asking me for £900 in fees. Watch out for these scams!Commonwealth8 yearsMy mate next door got a letter from this number and decided to ring it. They told her she'd be getting a cheque the next day. It sounded proper legit to her, which made it awkward to tell her it was all dodgy. After checking online, I showed her it was definitely a con and warned her to ignore any more messages or letters from them. What baffles us is what the scammers hope to gain since she never handed over any bank info, only asked for a cheque. I told her to keep me posted if they get in touch again, so we can report it or see where it goes.8 yearsGot a letter through the post today, but the number on it was 01513050415, and the direct line they gave was 07823609143. Watch out for these!8 yearsGot a letter from something called the Euromillions Commonwealth Lottery saying I’d won £580,000 and to ring 0161 667 1338. It looked dodgy, kind of like a bad photocopy, so I checked with the National Lottery who told me it’s a scam. Don’t fall for it and avoid calling the number. Best to just bin it and feel good for noticing it was a con straight away.Commonwealth LotteryNational Lottery8 yearsToday my son in law got a letter like this saying he won £580,000 and it had the same phone number. At first i figured it must be a scam but i still rang them anyway. No recorded message, just someone answering with a simple hello. They said the info was correct but i googled the number and found this website. I also sent the letter pic to my son who told me straight away it was a con. I really feel bad for older people who probably dont check online stuff. Ive definitely flagged this number as dodgy.Google8 yearsLike many others have said, someone older I know actually called that number. Luckily, I had already warned her about the scam. She was absolutely distraught, really upset and miserable over the whole thing. After that, I got the same letter in the post. It looks like they've targeted our neighbourhood now. I'm sure there'll be some unlucky people who end up ringing them.8 yearsI got this letter claiming I’d won £580,000 and it had the number 01616671338 on it. It’s totally a scam, so anyone who finds one of these should just bin it straight away. I really can’t stand these dodgy people, so I flagged the number as risky.8 yearsGot this letter claiming I won £580,000 from the Euro Millions, told to get in touch with Joseph Larson before 18th May 2018. There was a Gold Coast 2018 stamp on the corner too. Definitely a scam, don't bother calling them!Joseph LarsonGold Coast8 yearsGot a call from Paul Doyle saying I'd won £580,000 but it turned out to be a scam. Watch out for these sort of dodgy calls!Paul Doyle8 yearsGot a letter from some bloke called Paul Doyle, claiming I’d bagged £580,000 from the Euromillions Commonwealth Lottery. They said I should call 0161 667 1338 or send a fax to 0845 2803393, or even ring a mobile number. Turned out to be a total scam, but I did have a moment dreaming about chucking the NHS job and retiring to a nice villa in Spain. Bit of a letdown really. Guess I’ll just have to be glad the government’s giving me a tiny 3% pay rise - might keep me from having to hit the food banks by July 2018!Paul DoyleEuromillions Commonwealth LotterySpain8 yearsI received an identical letter too, with the same sum (£580,000), the exact name, and that phone number 0161 667 1338 is on it. They've labelled it as dangerous, which makes sense because while we might spot it as a scam straight away, someone less suspicious might fall for it.8 yearsSo today I got this letter on fancy headed paper from some Euromillions Commonwealth lottery saying I’d won £580,000. To claim it, they told me to get in touch with Josef Larson on 0161 667 1338, or his mobile 0782 360 9143, or even fax 0845 280 3393. They said I’ve got until 11th May to put in my claim. The letter also warned me not to tell anyone, so as to prevent fraud and scams from dodgy people. Well, here I am sharing it all anyway. I didn’t enter anything like this and can’t find any info online about it, so if I lose out on the money for speaking up, fair enough.Euromillions Commonwealth LotteryJosef Larson8 yearsGot a call about EuroMillions, probs a scam. Tried calling back the number, but defo dont ring them again.8 yearsGot a dodgy letter through the post today, so I'm gonna report it to the cops.9 yearsI got a letter about a lottery win from this number, something to do with Euromillions or Lottoland, but it looked dodgy as anything. It seemed aimed at older folks or anyone who might not be sharp enough to spot the con. The whole thing was quite funny, actually - the printing was smudged, the logos looked cheap, and the grammar was awful. Honestly, it was just plain laughable.Submit Your Own Report (0161 667 1338)
