In recent weeks Pueblo has been the target of another lottery scam. This time the suspects are contacting victims through our mail and email systems claiming to be an international lottery company. One of the fictitious names being used by these bogus companies is El Gordo Spanish Sweepstake Lottery out of Madrid Spain. This company is sending letters to victims claiming there was a mix-up and their name has now appeared on a winning lottery ticket now making them eligible for a large sum of money. However, to claim their winnings they must pay a nominal fee up front or fill out a sheet with their personal bank account information on it and send it back to this company. If you or someone you know has received one of these fraudulent letters simply throw the letter away. Remember NEVER release any personal information about you or your bank on the phone or to any business you are not familiar with. If you would like to read more about these fraudulent lottery letters go to the Internet and type in El Gordo Lottery Scams.
