Dear everyone
I have recieved an email notification of winning US$2,783,000.00, what a number. I suspected that it's a fraud but when I saw the link of the website, I visited the site on the internet, yes it is there http://www.pokerclaiming.com but when I entered the winning ticket number, it was not recognised even though its on the screen. I sent an email to address provided and they replyed to my email. they sent me a varification form and I did sent it back after filling it, then they sent an other email asking me to pay some processing fees, that what made it clear to that its a fake. I made some serches on google and found a similar email sent to another email with the same reference, batch No. Ticket No. etc. then i visted www.scamomatic.com where I checked the emails and got a result that it is a fraud. The funny mistake they did is that the amount was in US Dollars in the firs email US$2,783,000.00 but lastley it became the same amount but in Sterling Pounds 2,783,000.00 .
These are the emails I got from them:
