Before being bought, this is his real commentary:
The number of games available for purchase is a biggie. thelotter.com supposedly offers every single jackpot game in the entire United States.
Do you think they actually have purchasing agents in every single state? That kind of unreasonable business model is a clear tipoff that they are not actually purchasing tickets.
Here is a recent victim statement related to thelotter.com:
"Bought tickets for that huge US lottery in January. You have to buy
multiple lines. The site says that they will send an email confirmation
of your order. I could not tell when I was buying the 2 tickets whether
it was "doing a subscription", but knew that the receipt would confirm
my purchase.
I did not receive any receipts, but did receive one
telling me that my subscription was confirmed, with no information about
the numbers, or cost. I received a couple of emails telling me that i
won $9 and $14. I thought nothing about it, since they charge you a fee
if they pay your debit card you winnings!
A week later, I
checked my bank account, to see that thelotter.com not only took one
payment, they took TWO payments of EACH of the tickets at the same time!
I called and complained. They said no more money would be taken. Well,
my back put a stop on my debit card, noticing astutely that something
was wrong -- A Problem trying to recover my monies because I gave
thelotter.com my debit card details.
If you give any entity your
cards, BANKS DO NOT CONSIDER IT FRAUD! Then, middle of March,
thelotter.com took more money from my account, though my card was
"stopped" and replaced! It seems that they took the March money out at
the same time they took the other fraudulent payments. The bank told me
that they could actually take payments out for up to six years in
advance, and the scammee is stuck! No, they don't charge a commission
fee, they charge you when you take the money out of your "thelotter.com"
account, and take a lot more money than you think you have paid. I
then wrote to the company that is advertised on their site stating that
your payments are secure. Secure from whom? No reply.....Stay away from
thelotter.com"
This victim statement is one that was not able to be removed - thelotter has been known to vigorously try to delete all record of a complaint history. This blog retains and captures those records as they are posted - before thelotter can try to remove them.
You see - this is what thelotter does to ordinary people every single day. And yet thelotter and the folk who run this (who operate out of dubious jurisdictions around the world to ensure they are not caught by the regulators or police) - pay for internet presence, advertising, heck even dumb newspaper sites could be victim, but moreso paying commentators.
They do this so people think that the are legitimate.
But all over the internet people are starting to know about the actual experiences of "customers" of thelotter.
And that is why this site exists: because these highly dubious enterprises have been allowed to run rampant for too long. And it's time they pay for what they do - effectively taking hard earned money from ordinary people every day and daring to advertise their wares for unsuspecting folk.
You've been warned. Stay away from thelotter. One or two announcements of victory through their site belie the huge amounts of the money they have taken from customers who then have no recourse except internet reports. These stories are whispered daily.
Don't be that fool.
Further to my last post I researched some more on Trustpilot. Looks like they have some issues of their own AND this also explains why they deleted all thelotter negative reviews but happily accepted all the fake positive ones.
Oh of course because thelotter is the only one that needs to explain why that positive review is a customer they have a record of!
Trustpilot - spot the irony in the title - prizes galore.
So...it's really just another PAID ADVERTISING SITE but worse, it tries to seem objective, and fair. Thelotter.com case is the perfect example of how this "business" works.
Trustpilot - WOW
Shake my head.
