Just received a text message about this scam. Thank you to those of you who took time to create this website to prevent those (including me) from falling into these scams.

Well, I just got a text saying he is donating $1,080,000 to 4 random numbers. Used the US Telco database. Wanted me to email his lawyer Anthony Rodriguez of Mendoza & amp; Asociados. The lawyer has a gmail address! I doubt a legit lawyer will use a gmail address to conduct business. Thank you to this website for helping to bring these scams to light!

Got an email at 1:02am supposedly from Bill Lawrence. Thank you for your scams website. My lucky cell number was generated by US Telco database. Juan RossI is the attorney listed.

They changed mine up a little bit. Now they are offering 1,080,000.00 to me. Still got selected with a random email generator. This time they are using a different lawyer - Anthony Rodriqguez.

I texted them back saying "cool story bro."

They replied back with, "Rest assured, this is real."

So I replied, "What happened to Juan Rossl? He's your personal lawyer, not Anthony Rodriquez. He's not hurt or injured, is he? Pray no. :( "

And no response after that, lol

I recently received the same text message from "info8@jrossi.xyz". Once in the text the number says "00-14-18"

The text reads "I am Bill Lawrence, the recent Powerball winner, I have decided to donate $1,000,000.00 to some lucky numbers and you are one of them.Your number got selected through a random computer ballot system submitted to us by the US Telco database.

In addition, (FYI), I searched "Juan Rossi" and the only information that popped up for him was a Linked In account... My guess is that the account is fake to make him look real for potential victims.

I have just received the very same text. I have also received a similar message but doing research online, I managed to make contact with the Rosales Esser, RossI & Asociados Law Firm, I was kindly attended by one of their representatives. They are located in Venezuela 🇻🇪 and they informed me that they are not representatives of Bill Lawrence, they do not know Bill Lawrence and that they have received a large number of messages on the same matter. They indicated to me that they are impersonating their name to commit scam and fraud. That he did not respond to that type of email and reported it as Spam. They have already made the complaint to the local authorities in Venezuela.
