I hate freelotto and the way they operate with the white hot fiery passion of a thousand red giants. Seriously.

They aren't illegal, exactly, but they should be, in a nutshell. One of their "marketing partners" also runs a borderline advance fee fraud. They claim you have "won one of three prizes and just have to pay a fee to claim it". They cover themselves by putting in very tiny print at the bottom that you've actually won the chance to buy one of three pieces of merchandise for a set price, usually a crappy coffeemaker, a crappy blender, or a fabulous big screen television. Guess which you usually don't get in your grab-bag?

I tend to avoid things with free in the name, as it just isn't.
