419 Scam – "SANTALUCIA SEGUROS S.A. / SANTA LUCIA SECURITY COMPANY"

"SANTALUCIA SEGUROS S.A." is a fake processing agent for a lottery scam in Spain. It trades under the following names:

There is a real Santalucia insurance company in Spain, but it has no connection to any lottery and will not send you email or postal mail unless you're one of their insurance customers in Spain. Here is a scam warning by the real insurance company.

Fraudulent lottery winning notifications that tell victims to contact "SANTALUCIA SEGUROS SA" are sent out by email as welll as by postal mail. These letters are mailed from Spain (usually from Malaga) and the telephone numbers listed in them Spanish mobile phones (+34 6xx). Other than for the mode of initial contact these letters look identical to the email version of the scam.

Here's the fake lottery's fake postal address:

Loteria Nacional
C/SAN PEZ ANCATARA 24
08905 BARCELONA - SPAIN
TELEFAX 0034-616-374-371
Here is the contact address for the "security company" (all except the phone numbers can be assumed to be fake):
MR. JOSE LUIS GARCIA
The Foreign Services Manager of "SANTALUCIA SEGUROS S.A."
Tel: 0034-628-240-768
Fax: 0034-628-240-766

When contacted, this next scammer sends a claims form to the victim, to fill in personal details (don't do that!).

After the filled in form is sent in they will write back to the victim, saying the prize is ready to be paid, but first some charges must be paid (see email).
