I received 3 envelopes of Company brochures from Fortune Travelling (aaron.lim@fortunetravelling).com stating they were celebrating their 10years. In each I had two comp raffle scratch tickets.When scratched they revealed a $170.000 ticket and I had 3 of them and aroused my suspicion.When contacted they wanted me to scan the winning ticket and send it and i acknowledged and they confirmed that i hold the winning ticket and wanted to know my Client ID.As i did not have it they said they will speak to their sponsor and get back to me.A day late they called and said after persuasion they have finally decided to award me the prize and wanted me to deposit a sum of $4000 as a payment.They said this monies were released from the sponsor Terrence & Karen (www.tklimited-hk.com)c/o Mr Vince Lin(operation manager from Hon Kong and as such a Tax is of 4.9% is applicable and I have pocket out half of to get a Letter of Authorization.I was lucky to have realised this Scam in the nick of time as I had thru a mistake in posting 3 winning tickets which i never mentioned to them until late.Attached is a copy of the e-mail i received.

Hi, I too also received the same brochure and tickets, except I only got two tickets and only one had the $170,000 so I did exactly as you did and they told me the same about not being one of their clients and that they too would honour their prize. Thinking that they were genuine cause I received only the one winning ticket I got sucked in and now I have lost $3655, I feel so stupid but they were very convincing and didn't realize until I dug deeper and found your comments. I hope no-one else gets caught. I am usually a person with good common sense but these people are very good at what they do, like most good con artists.
Be aware Kristeen.
