I recieved an email from AnneMarie Walls indicating that I have won US800,000.00 from the New York Lottery draw that is done bi-annually and that I should contact one Mr.Thomas Newman, the Fiduciary agent of this entity to commence the release of my lottery price. Is this fraud?
Hello, I received the same email from Mr.Thomas Newman that I won USD800,000 too! I think it is Fraud. What will be next?
Yes, it is fraudulent.
Received the following from an anonymous user: "I have received a PDF letter signed by one Mrs. Ann-MarieWalls indicating that I have won US800,000.00 fro the New York Lottery draw that is done bi-annually and that I should contact one Mr.Thomas Newman, the Fiduciary agent of this entity to commence the release of my lottery price. She requested that I send the following information:Name,Email address, Age/occupation,reference and ticket numbers of the ticket in my letter, Mobile number Country and contact address. I did contact Tom through email:thomas.newman@ gmail.co.uk and agentthomasnewman@ aol.co.uk with the information needed; but he has mail to inform me to contact the First National Bank of South Africa and some transfer fee will likely be required before the transfer. Is this a fraud or the email address actually won? The letter quoted the ticket number as B55607545 6152 with reference number UK/JA2C110P5 and serial number UK5365/3,Batch number XA87-2PY drew on lucky numbers 2,15,16,29,37,53Bunos:40. HGS"
