I googled freelotto.com, and i found this website among others warning me that this was a scam. I found james keegan's and richard woodstock's names in the list of frauds. I knew it was too good to be true... I'm glad i'm not the only one, and i'm glad i found this site!!

OMG I just got same MSG yesterday and believed it.. I have not sent money yet... I almost did that... thanks guys

I feel cheated! My txt message only offers me $1 million US dollars. But unfortunately I will have to disqualify myself. I hope the organisers will understand. The prize comes from the Nokia UK and I have an iPhone. Woe is me. ;-)

Congrat: your mobile number has won for you $2, 000, 000 usd in the freelotto mobile promo. For claims, send email: [protected]@aol.co.uk & call: [protected]



Hi my name is mr norman floranus and i have recieved a massage that i have won the
$2, 000, 000 usd and i want to claim my price many thanks and send an email for me
Thanks and goodbye.

SCAM!! Just received the text. Couldn't believe it so I searched it on google and what do you know I find several webpages explaining that it's a scam!! How low!! Thanks for telling me guys! I feel a little gullable. Kim.

I got the same message about the free lotto promo. I have to pay $500 for postage and handling. Real lottos don't charge people, they just give you the money. Is it fake though, has anyone sent away the money and got the 2 mill ?

is thi real

Recieved text on mobile; call[protected] and email [protected]@live.com you have won $2 million usd in this year free lotto promo for claims - (As above.) this is claiming it was won because of my mobile number!? Be aware would you trust this?

Hi, Just received the same text message of wining $2 000 000.00. Must say these people never rest, they will keep on trying to steal your hard earned money with their scams.. Just ignore it, like the saying goes if you did not enter a competition the chances are like a 100% that you did not win it.

winning a lottery — winning a lottery is real or not

hello sir/madam one month before one mail i have recieved . they said u have selected a winning lottery of yahoo/msn company amount $500000 u have win. the cheque is uk . so we give the cheque to RBI then they after transaction to ur account tyhey said.
After few day i and custom officer r goto rbi and give the cheque. so immedieatly contact the rbi manager they said.then he give the maild id of rbi manager. id is rbi.[protected]@financier.com then i will send my details.after they said to u r winning amount is ready u pay the conversion and transaction charges of rs 45,000 then after transaction the mpney in your account they said.but he send the all the proof of details in yahoo/msn and uk cheque and reserve bank of india in authority in remit proof all are send.so pls said its real or fraud pkls tell urgently.

I received the same msg on my mobile, I replied via email, then received a phone call from Larry James? if thats his name. ph: [protected]
Taylor White was who the transfer of money went to (be aware)!!!

To receive your $1, 000, 000 you had to pay $ for a 72hr delivery, and a dearer amount for 48hr delivery, I was tempted and thought ok i'll do this just incase it was for real. Payment went through and was collected immediately. Many phone calls from Larry followed. Including please let me know when you receive your winnings. Then I received an email from Inland Revenue UK (different logo when you go to their website) explaining about paying tax on my winnings 0.15% of the total winning amount which came to 3, 500 uk pounds. As the British Bank had issued my winning cheque but the stop order was on until I paid the taxes.

This was very odd paying the freelotto mobile or the courier co the tax and they then forwarded the money to the inland revenue instead of the winner paying direct to the tax dept.

The other odd thing was why would the inland revenue / tax dept be working with the bank + freelotto mobile and the courier co. unheard of.

All I can say is be aware and don't get sucked in.

Hi I have just receive an email for $2, 000, 000USD winnings return email is [protected]@aol.co.uk and the phone number is +[protected] I wish it were true but believe me I am not that lucky

Also got the FREE Lotto Mobile Promo winnings notice. What a load of rubbish. Obviously a CON - the english used is strange and not grammatically correct. Not professional at all! BEWARE everyone out there. Where is the law enforcement on this, what are they doing to catch, prosecute and jail these mongrels.

I also have recieved the same message thought not much of it but thought to contact to see what it is all about it started to sound legit intill i rang internation phone directory and was told elight delivery centre went bankrupt in january. also i noticed richard woodstocks had alot of different phone numbers i called them all and got a persons answering machine called ross james

Lol, this was a really simple put-up job. Someone notice u by phone or message and tell u u won a lottery however u need pay xxx money for a transfer account fee or several muti ridiculous fee. "They are aiming for benefit from your connection fee"

I got this sent my mobile to sayin I won a heap of cash it's a scam the website looks so fake

I received the message. Now im waiting for the cheque of 2 million USD. You can deduct $450 US from the 2 million USD and just send me $1 999 550. If you like you can deduct another $100 to get a drink, if its not enough just call me back. When I receive the cheque of $1 999 550 I will send you enough money to have a party. What happens if you make a mistake and send me 2 messages on my mobile, does that mean I will win 4 million USD? Congratulations to all winners, see you in Africa 2010 world cup. Have fun.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments and info. I'm from Australia and I've just received the same text. I hope someone i s making an effort to find these losers.
