HOW TO AVOID LOTTERY SCAMS
August 3, 2011

Anyone who plays the lotteries must be extremely careful. There are many people out there who have scams as a life purpose and they will try anything to make you part with your hard earned cash. A woman from Austintown, Ohio, was smart enough to spot the cheaters and report them to the police. She one day received an envelope with a cheque for $1,985 and a letter. It was from an organization named the “Global Lotto Commission” and it asked her to call their number and talk to someone in the organization. However, the woman decided the authorities would know better. And they actually did. State lottery

It turns out that the so called Global Lotto Commission has been used for a long series of scams. If anyone receives the letter and cheque and calls the number, he or she will be asked to wire in some money for administration and taxation purposes. Upon cashing the cheque, the person would realize that it is in fact invalid and he or she just lost quite a bit of money. Lotteries

And the thing is that this isn’t happening just in the United States. Camelot, the company that runs the British National Lottery, and other lottery organizations around the world are trying to let as much people as possible know about these scams and what they should do to avoid losing their hard earned cash. The British National Lottery offers a lot of information on its official website, and what goes for them can go for any other lottery. Mega lottery

What players need to know is that no lottery in this world will ever contact them if they manage to win something. Anyone who plays the lottery often enough knows that he has to go let the lottery know he is a winner, otherwise, his lottery tickets will simply expire and he will come out empty handed. Also, if you didn’t buy any lottery tickets yourself or you are not part of a lottery group, how could you ever win? So if you receive something saying that you won a lottery you never even heard of, it’s most likely just another scam. The main idea here is to never do what the letters say. Instead, just go to the police and get more instructions from people that actually know what they’re doing.
