They were running a 9th Anniversary Lottery draw which I supposedly won second prize USD 160, 000. I was then asked to pay letter of authorisation amount of $3, 600 USD I stated that I didn't have that amount but paid half of this and Peace Holidays would pay the other half. The person I dealt with was a Mr Easton Leo in claims department, he said the prize winnings would be paid for by JT Holdings - Mr Dickson Lee. On the day I was told I would be contacted by their accountant who would transfer the winnings into my account and then told that I needed to pay another $4, 800 to the Hong Kong Government as 3% tax on the winnings. I spoke to the government - taxation department in Hong Kong and they said no money required to be paid as tax on a scratchie win. I have not received my $1800 that should be re-imbursed or any winnings. They are no longer returning my calls and the number I thought was a business listing is in fact a mobile contact as I have received my phone bill aagh!! I don't want anyone else to be scammed by them.
