LOCAL SCAM INFORMATION

One of our local residents brought the following scam to our attention.  Letters are circulating from the El Ministros Consultant S.A. out of Madrid, Spain, advising people that that their name was attached to a ticket which drew a set of lucky numbers which consequently won the lottery.

It informs people to contact their global claiming agent to begin their lottery claim, as well as that 5% of the Lottery Winnings belongs to the El Ministros Consultant S.A. because they are the promotion company that bought the ticket and played the lottery with their name.  A payment processing form is enclosed in Spanish, along with a request for your bank, bank account number, and credit card numbers. 

Please be advised that this is a scam.  If you receive this letter or a similar letter, please destroy it. 

If you wish to file a consumer complaint, please do so with the Division of Consumer Protection with the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office.  The Division of Consumer Protection has the authority to investigate deceptive or misleading business/trade practices and take legal action on behalf of the State of South Dakota.
