Dear miss Young,
 
I received a letter from lottery n.l. (much like yours) to which I responded, sent them personal details, banking details and my signature (am I in any kind of danger?) and thought there was nothing wrong (thankGod!) and I would win my 1,000,000 euros, until they asked me to pay 2,150 euros of tax, so as to complete the money transfer.
 
 I told them I did not have that much money and they offered to let me pay 500 and owe them 1650 to pay immediatery after the money had been transferd to my account. They even presented me with "official" legal documents, as you can see in the forwarded mail, by the Dutch Tax and Customs Office (please note that I called the Office on Friday and they told me they would investigate and warned me not to send them any money meanwhile) and the Postbank.
 
Although they tried to prevent me from discussing the matter with anyone, I had planned to discuss it with my lawyer and my bank on Monday until by searching to see whether my Remmitance Bank (Postbank) existed I ran into your website (a godsent!).
 
Please  take a look at the forwarded message and scanned documents they sent me last and let me  know, as soon as you can, what you think, although I am dead-certain by now, after reading your stories, that they are frauds.
 
Regards,
 
Maria

Hi Maria,
It IS a scam. You did NOT win the lottery.
 
The telephone numbers in the attached "documents" are either mobile phones,(+316), or "personal numbers" (+318), which means that they forward all calls to another phone (anywhere in the world).
 
I suggest that you stop all further conversation with the criminals behind this scam. DO NOT send them money.
 
End of story
