What ever you do do not give them your credit card info - I've done it and ended up having to close my credit card - you have not won anything - they are fraudulently trying to get you to give them your information so they can bill you monthly - even after canceling my card (they have it rigged so you don't actually have an account and you cannot cancel online!!) - they've been sending me all sorts of fake documents stating I've won - its a shameless and evil ruse!

Having been suckered by Free Lotto's fraudulent adverting practice about a month ago, since then I have searched the web for anyone else taking action - it would appear there's not a lawyer with big enough balls to take them on - sadly I came across hundreds of victims! (if you're that special lawyer out there who wants to make a big name for yourself I have every screen grab and email - this evil company is preying on people and from what I've read I'm sure I'm not the only one who's saved the correspondence)

During my research I came across information about 'PAY PER CLICK' advertising - did you know that companies, such as Free Lotto, have to pay EVERY TIME SOMEONE CLICKS on their ads/banners!

I discovered this while reading about an unrelated and legitimate company in Phoenix that had to pay enormous advertising bills because one of his competitors figured this out and kept clicking his banners - he noticed when his advertising bill went up exorbitantly...but his sales did not!!!!

Wanna get back at them? Every time they pop up and tell you you're a winner (fraudulent advertising to get you to sign up) Click on their banners, but don't follow thru - get these evil fraudsters off our web.

A woman scorned no more:-)

Yes, Freelotto is deceptive marketing.

However, I wouldn't suggest following through with that "pay per click" idea.

For starters, you don't know if the company actually pays for any "per click" advertising. Second, most pay per click advertising has stop-gaps in place to help identify and/or report "click fraud".

Finally, committing "click fraud", even successfully, is a much smaller financial blow than just not signing up for this site's spammed advertisements and subscribing to an account. The site makes its bread and butter by using you as an audience for paid ads and charging your credit card a monthly fee.
