'Money for nothing' scams: have your say
We asked you to tell us about the scams you have come across, send us your ideas, and find out what other consumers think.
To: haveyoursay@consumerconnect.ie 'You've won the lottery!' I just received the attached email from the "Irish Lottery" stating that I had won a substantial amount of money. "We happily announce to you the draw (#1004) of the IRISH LOTTERY online Sweepstakes International program held on Wed 07 Feb 2007 - 9.05pm It is now available for claims and you are getting the final NOTIFICATION as regards this..." Having already received two other emails from the "UK Lottery" I was aware that this is a scam. I checked your website and found it very informative and thought I would forward this to you - although I'm sure you have been alerted to it already. Fortunately I am aware of these sort of scams but I feel sorry for anyone who can genuinely be taken in by them.
