There once was a time when it was kind of fun to play the games offerred on www.freelotto.com. And, occasionally, I would win either $1.00 or $5.00 and the company would actually mail me my winnings.
Sadly, such is no longer the case.
Freelotto, or PlasmaNet, has failed to pay me the LAST FIVE TIMES I have won small amounts. On the first two of those occasions, I was informed that I failed to claim the prize within the allotted time (nevermind that this website originally did not require a winner to "claim" smaller prizes, they just automatically sent out checks).
Figuring that I must have missed notification of a rules change, I let those first two wins slide without insisting on being paid. However, the LAST THREE wins (totalling $7.00) were ALL claimed in a timely manner, and in the the specific manner in which the rules state prizes must be claimed. I received emails from freelotto ACKNOWLEDGING my wins. But, to date, I have received NO CHECK.
I have sent several emails of complaint to every imaginable email address at freelotto.com. I have even asked that my complaints be forwarded to Plasmanet CEO, Kevin Aronin. The only response I got was from some lackey who informs me that freelotto has no record of me winning anything.
I have fired back angry emails, basicly demanding action and informing them that my confidence in the games has severely waned.
Now, I would like to take this a step further. I would request any enterprising investigative journalist to begin reseaching an expose on this company. I want to see this company suffer humiliating negative publicity. Additionally, I would like to see a class action lawsuit against Plasmanet, freelotto and its operators, with all the companies assets being divided equally to all those who have supported this website over the last seven years. I want those who are responsible for perpetrating this scam sent to prison.
Websites like these need to be permanently shut down. The people who run them need to be punished severely. If someone wants to run a legitimate "free lotto, " and pay out winners properly and in a timely manner, I have no problem with that. However, if these folks cannot afford to pay out the winners, then they should not be allowed to run these scams with no fear of consequences.
