***This is from the BBB***
Alert to Consumers - Check Overpayment Scam Used Phony Web Site With fake BBB seal
The Better Business Bureau warns that a "check overpayment" scam, operating through a phony Web site, nearly cheated a Denton man out of almost $6,000. Using the name "All State Escrow", the scam set up a phony Web site. The site even displayed the Better Business Bureau name and the BBBOnLine® Reliability Program seal although the company is not a member of the BBB and does not participate in the BBBOnLine program.

Golly Gee, I've Won The Lottery!
The following excerpts are donated by S.Y. of Texas.
FREE LOTTERY PROMOTION INTERNATIONAL PROMOTIONS PROMOTIONS/PRIZE AWARD DEPT 9 Chaucer House Churchill gardens London, SW1V 3DW United Kingdom. } These are almost always from overseas somewhere and everywhere. I've seen them from Argentina, Australia, UK, Canada, Spain and so on and so forth. {
RE: WINNING NOTIFICATION..........CONGRATULATIONS!!!! (I'm all excited now let me tell you!)
This is to inform you of the release of the E-MAIL LOTTERY BALLOT INTERNATIONAL/ WORLD GAMING BOARD held on the 23RD of MARCH, 2005. Due to the mix up of numbers,the results were released on the 4th of APRIL, 2005. Your e-mail address attached to ticket number: 4156189324 under agent ID: 110 which subsequently won you the lottery in the 3rd category. } Gee, I didn't even enter! Somebody must have entered for me! {
You have therefore been approved for a lump sum payout of 1,000,000.00 G.B.P (Pound Sterlings) in cheque drawn in your favour as beneficiary and covered with HIGH INSURANCE POLICY. }That's a lot of money in any country!{
Due to mix up of some numbers and names, we ask that you keep your winning information confidential until your claims has been processed and your money remitted to you. This is part of our security protocol to avoid double claiming and unwarranted abuse of this program by some participants. } Mix up? Numbers and names? You mean I can't tell everybody I know that I just won 1,000,000.00 ?!? You can't be serious. Honey, let me tell you, if I win that kind of money they'll hear me yelling all the way over there in the UK from Texas! How can you abuse a lottery? If I won it fair and square, how could I possibly abuse it? {
All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from only Microsoft users from over 20,000.00 companies and 3,000,000 individual email addresses and names from all over the world. } Excuse me, but I don't understand how many 20,000.00 is compared to 3,000,000 since the first is obviously a typo and since when did Microsoft get into the lottery business? (They didn't you know, I'm just being facetious. Just play along, okay?) {
To begin your lottery claim, please contact our agent below that have been appointed for the processing of your claim with the email address below:
CONTACT NAME: David Morret CITY/ COUNTRY: London, United Kingdom. TEL: 0044-703-1949-101 : 0044-870-2626-592 FAX: 0044-870-0689-981 EMAIL: freelotto_ukagent@web-mail.com.ar } Where is .com.ar? And quite frankly, I'm a little afraid to call, because this could be a phone scam as well as a lottery scam. You know, you call and listen to a recording for 5 minutes, then get a phone bill for $10,000.00 or something. {
Note that all winning must be claimed not later than 10days of receiving this notification. After this date all unclaimed, funds will be included in the next stake. Please note in order to avoid unnecessary delays and complications please remember to quote your WINNING NUMBER and AGENT NUMBER in all correspondence. } Here they are putting me on the spot. They've been doing who knows what with my 1,000,000.00 in the UK since March and now I only have 10 days to respond now that I've "won"?! **Don't get in a hurry, you really can't take this thing seriously. {
Furthermore, should there be any change of address do inform our agent as soon as possible.
Congratulations once more from our members of staff and thank you for being part of our promotional program. Note: Anybody under the age of 18 is automatically disqualified. } Now wait a minute! Nobody said anything about promotional programs when they said I won! The truth is, they'll want money for "taxes and processing fees" before sending you your "winnings". Don't do it. You'll never hear from them again.
Yours faithfully, } Faith inspires trust in most people.{ Mrs. Ann Douf ============================================== Any breach of confidentiality on the part of the winners will result to disqualification. } Well, I guess I'm disqualified after all this gabbing about all that money.
