Blackberry UK Promotion Lotto Jackpot Scam

Posted: Nov 27, 2015 8:15 AM by an anonymous user from or near: Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria

I was told that I won 1 million Pounds in a blackberry lottery promo in the year 2014 by one Mr. Edwin claiming the money was deposited in their bank for onward transfer to my account in Nigeria but that I should pay the sum of 500 Dollars to facilitate the transfer which I refused to pay.

Again about a month ago I received another mail from them saying the money has been transferred to U S A to one agent who will contact me for the release of the money on payment of a specified amount this time also I refused to send them any money.

What I will like to know is. If Blackberry has any type of lottery promo organized and how can somebody know if such promo is real or fake.
