Once potential victims contact the lottery scammers, thinking they are contacting The Newham City Lotto, the scammers will ask them to send personal information, and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called prizes, which the scammers will claim the money is for taxes or processing fees. They will then ask their potential victims to send the money via Western Union, MoneyGram or other money transfer services. Once the scammers have received their victims’ money, they will disappear, leaving the victim frustrated, depress, and a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke.

The same lottery scammers may contact their victims and attempt to scam them again using the personal information the victims sent to them, or they may sell their victims’ information to other lottery scammers, who will also attempt to scam the victims.

I knew from the moment I received the text message from the mobile phone number 61413159139, other format is 0413159139 and 0413 159 139
The message stated that I am a lucky winner of $6,500,000.00 GBP.
I did use their website claim system www.maybt.net and entered y ref number and details
They got back to me asking for me to make urgent contact with their courier service and the courier service got back to me asking me to pay around $2,000.00 AUD for me to have my prized winnings delivered.
I then sent a message back to the so-called lottery mob asking them to send my winnings by Bank Transfer "I DID NOT GIVE THEM MY BANK DETAILS" as I want an answer which I doubt I would get and I also told them in my email I can't afford the courier servie.
I will come back to this website and post any new information if they say YES or NO about sending my so-called winnings by Bank Transfer

I just won 6500000 pound from the same mob. Why aren't they fined and closed down after a year or more doing this.

    You can only be scammed if you send them money, so, just don't.

I received exactly the same text yesterday 24 August in Victoria Australia, for 3000 000 pounds. Thanks for the information on this site.
Text deleted. Coincidentally, I have recently been locked out of my very old hotmail email account (a prompt telling me someone may be trying to use my account) and have provided information to 'Microsoft' to try to reactivate my account...including my phone #... could the two events be connected?

  No, they are not related. One is a lottery scam and the other is a phishing scam.
  The phishing scam is used to steal account username and password by sending potential victims to a fake website.

Scam messages coming from 61481768119 saying I won 3 Million pounds without a ticket to start with. Imagine just owning a cellphone number and winning it without buying a lotto ticket? How insane is that?

I sent my name, address and phone number, but never gave out any personal banking details as I thought this was a scam. Maybe they will steal my identity with the info I gave them, I don't know.
