El Combo Loteria?
This one is like all the others. Just so you know for sure.
No legal lottery company pays prize money through a security company!
That is just part of the scam. It's a way of cashing in twice.
How does that work? Easy, for taking part in the lottery you pay the so-called lottery company a fee. That can be anywhere between 300 and 2000 Euros or Dollars.
Once you have paid this fee, the "Security Company" also wants a payment which go up to a further 5000 Euros. Oh yes, they do actually ask for sums like this!
Note that they say that the fees cannot be deducted from the prize money? You can see they have been doing this for some time now and that they have had this question before.
After you have paid, you wait and no money comes. You call the Africans and they say sorry there is a problem. They keep this up until you realize that you have been had.
It's that easy.
