/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On June 2 the Armenian Justice Ministry had to
issue a recurrent statement warning the Armenian citizens against
participation in Internet lotteries notifying of various big
winnings. The latest statements was issued at the beginning of 2005,
when Spanish swindlers offered Armenian citizens to make some payments
for receiving the winning of EL GORDO DE LA PRIMITIVA lottery or NET
SWEEP STAKES LOTTARY. According to a source in the RA Justice Ministry,
one Armenian citizen even sold his car to pay for the “service” of the
Spanish swindlers and sincerely believed that he has really won $2
million in the lottery. It turned out that he was in correspondence
with the cheaters and even informed them about his bank requisites,
