The Nederlandse Staatsloterij hereby warns the general public that recently some organisations are sending e-mails in which substantial prizes are awarded to the receiver(s) of that e-mail. To collect prizes the reciever should contact the organisation mentioned in the e-mail. A telephone number should be called or a ‘payment form’ or ‘prize claim form’ should be filled in.
