Thx for highlighting.Scammers suxxx big time

yeah ... just before you recive the prize at your bank account you must pay $2500 by western union to one person right

and then you can kiss your money goodbye ... stupid scamers

don't pay to get paid

is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noooooo.... its from scam .... hahaha

It's a fairly typical fake lottery scam, I have seen this world cup version numerous times already.

It's basically Nigerian 419 advance fee fraudsters based in Spain who are pulling this scam.

Google ticket number 508-7895-4456-224 you get this:

Google results or: ticket number 508-7895-4456-224

Google the first part of the email address omegafiduciary you get this:

Google results for: omegafuduciary

The phone and fax number they use are both unregistered Spanish mobile phone numbers that can't be traced, would a real lottery have mobile phones as it's means of contact , legitimate lotteries NEVER send emails to winners, only 419ers do that:

+ 34 692 383 141
Number billable as: mobile number
Country or destination: Spain


+ 34 692 383 143
Number billable as: mobile number
Country or destination: Spain

Many victims lose money to Nigerian 419 scams every year, we are talking hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide. If you want further info on scams, visit the webpage I made which has many anti-scam links and resources related to Nigerian 419 fraud and other types of internet fraud:

Not to belittle people who have lost money in these types of scams, but I know I wouldn't send out that kind of money in the hopes of winning a prize. A few bucks on a hyip or autosurf is one thing, but that's a big outlay of cash. Folks, please use your common sense on stuff like this!

I just saw that when i change my signature, it changes on all my posts.

Didnt knew.... Its was millionettes.com that IS a scam.

And not total-rune and instantmoney flow......

Just wanted to make that clear!!

Thanks all for your replies.

I got this email before too and I don't even buy lottery, and especially never in U.S. lol.

I think that is insane how someone thought up that sceme & were able to pull it off.

Hi ppl,
I agree with Racing Investment....that should be a Nigerian 419 scam. My Brother was a victim & he lost $400(lucky the money was not that much)

Losing money to scammers sucks. There is nothing worse than getting your hopes up on getting money this time and the same thing happening. You get scammed and never see that money again.
