Mornin all,
My Mother received a letter today allegedly from the Euromilliones loteria international advising her that due to a mix up somehow she has won Five Million, Two Hundred Thousand Euro's & to begin her claim she needs to contact a fella by the name of Don. Juan Pedro Lucas, tel. +34-638-877-493 a foreign operations manager for a securities company called TRIDENTA SECURITY COMPANY S.A MADRID no later than the 22nd of September or the funds will be returned to the MINISTERIO DE ECONOMIA Y HACIENDA. A commission of 10% is to be paid to this agent after she has received the funds into her nominated Bank account!
The letter came postmarked Mostoles, Madrid, it had my Mothers details were printed on the envelope using the Times New Roman font & the envelope had no return address.
At the top of the letter were 2 addresses:-
Calle Cordoba No 21 Planta 2A
28014, Madrid, Spain
tel/fax: +34 659-802-060
From: The Desk of The Vice President.
International Promotions/Prize Award Dept
Ref No: TDL/2551256004/06
Batch No: 20/0117/IPD
Prize Claim Track: No:7046634128
The letter was signed ANTONIO GOMEZ, Vice president & had a Stamp saying international management of euromilliones lottery and in the center of the stamp were the words "Timbre delestado" also had "1'25 & Pts" around a coat of arms symbol.
Attached, page 2 of the letter was a Lottery Payment Processing Form requesting a numerous amount of details including bankers deatils & next of kin.
Allot of cheap graphics & a blatant rip of the Euro Millions national lottery symbol.
From doing a google serach on tridenta I found the following links which confirmed my suspicions that this was a SCAM.

I believe this gang is preying on the old & unsuspecting fat cats, so be warned accordingly & don't even give these people the time of day!
