I had registered at freelotto.com about 3 months back. Within a few days of registering I started receiving emails, a part of which looks like the following: MEMORANDUM Office of Prize Administration DATE: December 18th, 2006 TO: C. Alison, CFO FROM: S. Roman, Prize Administrator RE: Paid & Pending Check Release Status Notification Pursuant to our discussion, below please find a list of recent and pending winners as well as their respective winning status. Note that the winners who took advantage of the hassle-free F.A.S.T. offer had their winning checks sent immediately following the win and status marked to PAID. This includes our most recent $10 Million Dollar winner - Eric Prevost from France.

The convenient F.A.S.T. service guarantees that a winning check in the amount of $1 Million will be released to its rightful winner upon said submission in conjunction with the rules. Now, everyday is has been the last date for them, since they keep on urging me to accept my prize and whenever I open the given link I am asked to submit my credit card number, which I never submit. Now I would like you all to help me in finding out whether this is real, and if there is any way to get them punished if they are not.

This is a spam. I too receive this mail daily with my name on their list. My inbox is filled with their mail claiming i won a lotto and i am in the pending list. So don't believe them. It is 100% scam.
