We may not be able to exterminate them, but we can inconvinience them. Reporting them, particularly if someone like gibber09 can provide names and addresses, will speed up the process by which they get uprooted and have to find a new address, perhaps new names, etc. Preventing them from getting comfortable and well rooted is a pasttime that keeps scamming people from being a great way to make a living. As long as it keeps "con artist" a difficult and dangerous career choice, I'm happy to stomp away whenever I get the chance.Aren't extended metaphores fun? I wonder how I can work 'compost' into this thread...  Have fun knocking on their door, gibber09. Not that they're likely to answer. But it might make them worry a bit.

I agree with you PuzzleMage completely.
I'm just not the right person to do this. I don't even understand why people get caught in this $31.95-fraud, which is in my opinion not a very intelligent fraud.
I consider the PayPal-fraud alot more dangerous, than this one.
That's why I leave it up to people, who are more interested and/or qualified in these frauds.
It's too negative for me and it would make me depressive.
I would consider this as an endless fight without significant results.
I like to do something what has never be done before with a positive goal.

I logged on to lottalottos today to specificially see what people were saying about freelotto.com, boy was I suprised it seems to me that tey have turn from being a very repudible and honest site to being being down right greedy S,O,B,s. In the past year I have had 1 $5.00 winner and 4-6 $1.00 winners, none of which have I been paid for. My niece has also had a few $1.00 winners that she has not gotten paid for,they no longer deem it necessary to answer e-mails,sent to any address including webmaster. They seem to selling there mailing lists at flea markets,and garage sales judging by the amount of e-mail being generated from there so-called sponsors, why should I, or we have to ask to be excluded from some idiots mailing list so those guy at freelotto can make there bucks,and still not pay there winners. it used to be that you could smell the B/S before you stepped in it.
I for one will sending the fellers from freelotto.com out to the pasture to step in some of ther own B/S.

Free Lotto is a dead issue, that's all there is to it.The bottom line: THEY ARE NO LONGER IN THE LOTTO BUSINESS What they ARE in, is the 1. Spam Business
2. Scam Business
3. Selling personal info and email address business It's an incredible shame considering how they used to be the "Gods" of free lottos. I'm just glad that the big winners all won when free lotto was insured (at least I think they all were). |

DAVEAID,Loved your post about Freelotto.com stepping in their own B/S. I won $300 and was never paid. I've quit playing and I've gotten several other people to quit playing, also. I wish all members of Freelotto would take a look at this forum! I'd like to see them "go under" and have EVERYONE stop playing! Gin

Hi Kirsty,Post the email here that says you won some cash... we'll tell you if it's a scam or not. 99.9% certain it would be - do you know anybody who would want to give you cash that didn't already know your address? Spud

I live in India (Noida) and the e-mail clearly shows that the details of my adreess have been "sold" to the scamsters by Hotmail.This is crazy? I think Microsoft is helping criminals in making fools of the innocent people. I reached your site by searching the net but others will not be able to. Will someone inform Bill Gates that power should be harnessed carefully - otherwise it can blow in his face sometime in the future. Really Pissed Off!

<---- Stupid me was once sucked in the scam!!!Quite a few years ago I got one of these scams through the regular old fashioned mail! and I actually sent them the money, I was very naive, very, very, naive. This is what I received a "diamond look alike, gold in color eternity ring" LOL it was a nice ring when I opened the package but did turn my finger greeen! so you can save your money and you will now know what you are likely to receive. I have also been receiving the same e-mails and for my $31 I too would be receiving "Paretti Diamond Jewelry Collection". I love jewlery what woman dosen't but for $31 you can shop on QVC and get something nice for your money and if it breaks they'll replace it! I hope this helps someones curiousity!
