Scam Avoided

This is what makes the blog worth while:

I want to thank your website for helping me avoid a possible scam.

Last week, I received an email from the Euromillions Lotery Agency, very much like the one in the Lotto Scams section of this website. But before I did the research, I replied. I was asked to come to Brussels Belgium to claim a One Million Dollar prize I had won from the Lottery, but I have never entered that lottery.

I sent in all the neccessary paperwork, but since I was not able to go to Belgium, they appointed an Attorney for me. He sent me more paperwork, and now has requested personal identification and a partial payment of 925 euros, or approximately $1300 US dollars before he can claim my prize money on my behalf. The attorney is named Vincent De Smet, Advocaten and Procuren.

The Legal Consultation form he sent me has a picture of him, and it looks very real. But after reading some of the scams on your website, i have determined that it is a scam, and I have decided not to send him any money. He has called me twice in two days asking me to send the money by Western Union. Thank you for helpng me with this one. I will definately check back here if I get anymore emails.

Thanks again.
