I checked the official Swiss company register, the web and a private register (D&B) - no results at all.\n\nThis firm simply does not seem to exist in Switzerland - and it didn't ever exist here.\n\nHave you got some more information? How much money was it?\n\nThe post will not give details on the holder of the PO box without a formal accuse of fraud. If you like, I can give you some contact details to the corresponding authorities.\n\nIf you like, you may scan the contract or what ever and send it by e-mail (address is starttoATwriteme.com). I have enough knowledge to tell you more then.\n\nGreetings from Switzerland

It's a scam. Especially if it is from an e-mail on the internet and it is a foreign lottery.

Appears not.\n\nhttp://ctx.us/CTCPA/canadianlotteryscam.html\n\nI'm Canadian, and I know that each province controls its own lotteries, so you have the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, etc. There's no national organization by that name, to the best of my knowledge.

Yes\n\nVisa electron will always check your account to make sure there is oney there before authorising the transaction.\n\nVisa debit will have house limits with many retailers and not check your account balance before authorising the transaction. So you could spend more money than you have in the account or on an overdraft facility.\n\nBe careful, your bank will charge you if you abuse it, around £30 each time you spend without money being in the account!

It's not a scam in that they do give away all the prizes that they claim (high visibility in a heavily regulated industry). However, your chances of winning are so small as to be practically non-existent.

It is a scam / hoax / BS.\n\nThe lottery will not contact you if you win...you have to have the winning ticket in your hand and take yourself to the lotto outlet and have it scanned.\n\nIf you have any doubts...go to the website below and look up your scam-mail!
