UK victims of lottery fraud wanted

[Jez]

We have been contacted by a major UK TV news show who are producing a programme about fake lotteries. They are appealing for help to raise more awareness about them, and would like to speak to victims in the UK who have lost money in these scams.

They stress that "any initial conversations would be confidential and any formal cooperation by means of an interview would be a separate request" (so, after the initial contact, you're not obliged to agree to anything further if you don't want to).

If you would be willing to tell your story, please post in this thread or PM me.

Thanks.

No, this is different (my contact is asking for victims of lottery fraud only) - looks like there's some kind of competition going on here! Still, the more publicity, the better. :D

jes, i had a similar experiance - if you give me your e-mail I can send you the mail that I received.

The national lottery warns of such fraud when they ask for payment of transfers beforehand and also ask your personal details and copies of ID or Passport.

Luckilly I checked the uk web site and was warned beforehand!

Callie.

According to Jez, this is no longer available, as we haven't heard back from them for a long time. I'll lock this thread and unsticky it.
