My elderly parents received a letter from El gordo Spanish sweepstake saying they had won 615810 thousand euros, and to fill in form enclosed to atlantico grupo security company s. A
this wanted their personal bank details which alarmed them and they passed letter to me
As it happens they had bought a ticket on holiday and thought they had won
Immediately suspicious I went on el gordo website and found lots of scams posted
They were vunerable but had the good sense to ask
Others may not
Beware!!! Details are good even a water mark on the letter
True professionals I think
They nominate an agent with a tel no, these are mobiles as all mobile sin Spain can be bought and not registerd anbegin with a 6 after the country code
They ask only for a remittance charge and even quote a winning ticket no
My parents were lucky, others may not be so be very careful
