I received a letter dated Aug. 24, 2006. When I open it, a check fell out. The check was from Panasonic Ideas for life. At first, I thought it was a refund, because I had just placed an order with Panasonic, but, to my surpise as I paid more attention to the amount of the check it made no sense. The check was in the amount of $2, 894.65. The letter was from British Gaming Commision (misspelled). It stated that I was a winner of the British Lotto held in London, England, that my name was selected through a computer ballot system draw from one million five hundred thousand names. I was getting excited. It even gave the winning numbers 21-27-8-15-34. The second thing I did was to get on the computer to investigate this information. I was disappointed to find out that not only is this a rip-off, but, that so many people are falling subject to the same game. Some of us are smart enought to catch a crook, but, some of us get so excited that we get caught up.
These folks have to stop messing with people heads. Poor people, people who are in need. I would've loved to have won $80, 000.00 USD, and I'm sure all of us who received that letter could use it also. Why are they getting away with it?
I was to contact a claim agent, Brenda Smith of Sun Source Financial Management Group. When I called, a machine answered, saying that the message box was filled. My God!! I hope this can help someone else. I hope we are able to stop rip-offs like this. I'm blessed that I wasn't a victim this time, but, how many others can say this...
