I was told that I won a lottery that took place in the Netherlands. I had several contacts with them online. I have all of the emails saved. They have actuall websites attatched to them, so I thought I would do what they told me until they asked for any account numbers or a ss number.
Through email they never asked for anything like that. I was told to call a phone number, in the Netherlands. So I went a bought a international phone card to call them. When I contacted them, they answered a cell phone and simply said "Hello". No company name given.
I asked questions like, did they have a website, is it legal to play an international lotto, how do I get my money. They said they were not aware of it being illegal, they were a new company called "International" and they do not yet have a website.
As far as getting my money, they said it would have to be insured if I chose to send it through the mail. I asked for insurance company names in the Netherlands.
They said that they could insure it for 5000.00. That is when I said that I was not a stupid american and I was going to report it to the FBI.
That was the end of the conversation.
