    I have received notification that I am an Australian Loto winner.
    How can I confirm that this is authentic

    Please give me a phone number and an agent’s name that I may direct my querrie.s to.

  2. Lee says:

    It’s not authentic.

  3. connie fraley says:

    i have also been notified that i am a australian lotto winner how can i be sure this is not a scam.

  4. Lee says:

    The best way that you can tell that it’s not a scam is by sending them your bank information. Then, when your bank account isn’t cleaned out, you’ll know it’s not a scam.

    Also, a reasonably good way to tell that it’s a real lottery is if you’ve a bought a ticket.

  5. AYESHA says:

    I am also notified that i am a lucky winner how can i claim?

  6. Lee says:

    AYESHA, send me an email with a photograph of both sides of a major credit card and your bank card. Also send me your credit card “security word” and your bank PIN number. And your social security number and tell me your mother’s maiden name. Also please tell me your checking account number and the address listed on your account. And tell me your blood type and the VIN and license plate number of your car. Also send me a photograph of the title to your car. Also a sample of your signature. Then you’ll be a lucky winner.
