Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Netherlands
multiserver lottery
I am told that i am a winner of this lottery and to insure that my winnings are transfered to my account, i need legalization of my documents, endorsement of stamp duty. I was contacted by a representative from the Netherlands, asking for power of attorney to proceed. He wants attorney fees up front. Could you give me any advice on this matter. thank you;

My advice is to wake up and smell the coffee. Did you buy a lottery ticket in the Netherlands (or any other country in Europe for that matter)? This is a scam.

This is one of most common scams on the internet. Delete the email and be thankful that you did give away any personal information to them.
