PLEASE HELP!
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.
