Checked both telephone numbers on the dutch phone company site.

the first one is a non existing mobile phone number

the second one is has non-existent area code..

so both numbers leave no trails.

Didn't know being dutch would help here.. Smile

edit:

Looked at the adress:

The rest of the information checks out.

just a copy paste of the offcial site.

site:http://www.lotto.nl/web/show/id=43938

Actual telephone number: 0900-0202 (€ 0,15 p/min.)

^ The first phone (06)number is probably a prepaid cell phone (these are not listed as far as I know)

The second one (084) is a non-geographical prefix used for voicemail and faxmail services.

I haven't tried calling them but it wouldn't make sense for a lad to send out non existing numbers. So I'm almost sure they're valid.

It's not the first time I've seen these. I've also seen scams that were supposed to come from Dayzers (another lottery-thingy operating in the Netherlands).
I even notified the guys at Dayzers about it back then, never heard from them again.

I get lots of lottery - and other - scams from the Netherlands. Apparently lads are infesting that country.

^ me too, not many though. My catcher accounts receive dozens of scam emails a day, every once in a while there's a dutch lottery mail. I always give those some special attention, but most of the time the answering IP address is from Africa. So mostly Africans just using a dutch lottery as a scam format.

There are a couple of groups of scammers working from Holland, that's a fact. They're mostly located in the south-east of Amsterdam, a suburb with a high density of africans. The arrests that were made there in the past were all Nigerians, including the singer of the nigerian 'I go chop your dolla' hit single.

Oh yeah there are lots of scammers located and operating in Amsterdam,

Seen a couple of them in court. ( I work at the courthouse in Amsterdam).

Pesky SOB's. Sad thing is, Dutch law isn't up to date enough to sentence them for just internet fraud/scamming.

It's a tough thing to beat, but of course it is taken seriously and good old fraud and theft are very very very punishable!
