Assigned Claims Processor: Mr. Mark Alsem. PHONE #:+xx xxxxxxxxxx, FAX#: Email: informationdepartmentuk@ Phone: +xx- xxx- xxxx- xxx Dear Winner, I, Your Assigned claims reprocessing officer Mr. Mark Aslem, am pleased to inform you that your prize money of ?5.5, million Pounds with reference number: MSW/xxxxxxGH/L and batch number: xxxxxx/WIN has been returned back to us (Microsoft Mega Jackpot Promotion House). Today, the 12th of December 2005 as unclaimed. We wish to notify you that you still have the right to reprocess your winning prize. For winners that are not interested in reprocessing their winnings, we wish to ask you for the right to give out or share out your winning prize to the charity homes here in UK. I have been instructed to inform you that you should please fill in the disclaiming form indicating your disinterest in claiming your GB 5.5 Million Pounds and reasons why so we can proceed to send your funds over to charity homes here in the UK. I hope this is well understood I would be looking forward to hearing from you. 5.5 MILLION POUNDS DISCLAIMING FORM FROM THE MICROSOFTWORD MEGA JACKPOT EMAIL PROMOTION OFFICE ..............how do i know if this is true or fraud. please assist me. many thanks Gary {*ADDED BY THE ADMIN*} Yes Gary, this is email is a scam. We have edited out some of Gary's personal information. First of all, Microsoft does NOT run or authorize any lottery of any kind, that we at Lots0cash know about and we know a little about Lotteries. Next, If you had really won 5.5 Million, don't you think that the Lottery would have at the very least spent a few pennies and sent you a registered or certified letter to your home address? After you contact these guys they ask you for a "processing" or "service" fee, sometimes they ask for your bank account details. Think about this for a minute; If you just won 5.5 Million, why would they need you to send them a "fee"? Why can't they just take the money out of your prize? If they tell you it is because of a law or regulation, tell them that you'll send them the "fee" after you receive your winnings, your credit should be good, you just won 5.5 Million... Don't get Scammed - Keep your money and don't waste your time. Lots0cash Admin Edited by admin on 01/12/06

When I e-mailed them there were no such e-mail addresses known and checked with fraud aid and found out for sure that this was a scam

Lise	#5 48 of 86 people found this comment helpful Posted 01/13/06 - 12:30:15: I have occasionally wisited a web-sit called PCH lottery. You pick numbers and play a kind of internett lotto. Last week I received a E-mail from PCH lottery saying I had won 250 000 pounds. I received a claim form from a Melisa Kelvinson, wich I returned cause it did not ask for any personal information like mye birthnumber or creditcard number etc. Then I got a new E-mail where Mrs Kelvinson asked me to choose betwwen two options. Bank to bank transfer, or personal cheque delivered by couriere company. I replied bank to bank trasfere and gor an e-mail saying the money was deposited in an account at Platium Financial House, and that I needed to contact them on a given web-link to transfere the money to a bank in my own country. When I opend the link, I came to a Web-site for Platium FH, saying I needed to open an account at the bank to get a accountnumber, and pincode so the money could be transferred to my account. On the Web-site the bank inform you that to open an account they charge 500 dollars in opening fee and 1000 dollar in deposit. Naturally I have not payd any money. But since it all so far seemed some kind of real, since I'm already playing in the PCH lottery I wonder : is this to a scam? Is the Platium FH a real bank? Web site is: www.platium-fh.com, Mrs Kelvinson e-mail is pls advice Best regards Lise
Admin	#6 41 of 84 people found this comment helpful Posted 01/13/06 - 13:37:41: Hi Lise, We have been unable to determine if Platium Financial House is legit. There is no record of this company that we could find in Great Brittan or the USA. We have been unable to determine who registered The Internet Domain name platium-fh.com (domain name for Platium Financial House), this leads us to believe that this is a Scam. In a case like this we recommend that you contact your local law enforcement.
