Geoff.C 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Similar case in the local paper recently. Now if you have not been to Spain, or bought a ticket for their lottery,would you really expect to win it??? One lady after being notified that she had won the Spanish lottery, sent all her details as requested for the money transfer. A money transfer did take place, but it was not in the direction she was expecting. Later she was relieved to have only lost about £700. A hard lesson learned methinks.
