Well I am devastated because I am from Trinidad I received this letter a week now I spoke with a Mr. Lopez Sanchez and Mr. Don OC Antonio and have sent over 50, 000.00 in cash through money gram for these people. I now decided to check online and realized that both my fiance and I have lost our life’s savings that was meant for our newly constructed home. I want to know who can please assist me in getting justice and putting a stop to these people so that what has happened to me will never happen to another person.
My grandfather got an identical letter in the mail…REGISTERED MAIL,from Portugal. Branch Office,av.

my grandparents just got the same letter!!!! and we are all the way in the Caribbean (Trinidad to be exact). Why are the police not involed yet?
I just received a letter from the same scam but with defferent names, the agent (Don. Williams Lucas) is the one contact, and the person congratulating me is (Geraldo Reyes Antonio) the phone number of the agent is +34-672-945-983 . its the same they want me to fax everything my account number my identity…. the deadline for me to submit by 15 Aug 2011 .Because of delay in processing, agent is asking for 650 euros via western union. How these people know the name and address of defferent countries.
Thank you so much for putting this online. I was just about to send my information to a so called “friend” in Spain who claimed he had bought a lottery ticket for me. He was obviously trying to get my personal information to steal my identity. My letter was almost identical and the winning numbers were the same numbers that I had picked myself and given to my “friend”.
Was just about to complete the Loterias y Apuestas del Estado “award” form ( by mail post-marked Faro Portugal ” LA PRIMITIVAL FOUNDATION PROMOTION in Madrid Spain when I visited this site warning about the SCAM. Many Thanks, guess it was too good to be true! Beware OLYPIA SECURITY & FINANCE COMPANY, SL IS A BIG FRAUD SCAM. DO NOT FAX info, or give your Bank Information.
I just received a hard copy letter on my personal address.
Letter is posted in Portugal and they ask you to fax your information to DON DIEGO MIGUEL foreign operation manager.

Hello there,
My brother has just received the same letter by post in Moscow.
It says: ” Due to mix up names and addresses the results were relieased on the 9th of March 2011 and your name attached to ticket No: xxxxxxx” had the lucky numbers, which consequently won the lottery in the 3rd category.., The amount is 950,000 Euros..”
I believe the next step when they receive all the details of the person (bank details, etc..) would be something like that: ” This is to confirm that you won the lottery and we need just 1000 Euros as a processing fee to transfer 950,000 Euros in your bank account..”
Needless to say this is a scam but I was just wondering where they got the people names and especially addresses to send the hard copies by mail???
No worries Latja! It’s most likely an email sent to thousands of people and you just happened to be on the list. However, if you have a website, you can link to my Anti Spam page and the next time the spammer visits your site, his database will collect tons of invalid email addresses making his list worthless!
i have just received this via mail in aus!, sent apparantly from portugal…
should i be worried they know my name and address??
I recevived the same, is that fraud?
I just recieve a letter from the same scam but defferent names appear on the agent (SNR. Ortiz Cardoso) is the one contact, and the person congratulating me is (Geraldo Reyes Antonio) the phone number of the agent is +34-634-145-735. its the same they wont me to fax everything my account number my identity…. the deadline for me to submit is on OCt 29. How this people now the address on defferent country. do they have contact or members on the other country?
