Please alert the police there, I am back home in California and can't find the local police's number. I signed up while there on a couple of internet mailing list and I suppose that's how they got my email, so TOURISTS, DON'T LEAVE YOUR PERSONAL INFO ANYWHERE! They send an email claiming you won the "Loteria Shop Nacional Award Español 2007" and that you now must pay processing fees to collect your money. The phone number they give is in Madrid, with the country code for Spain (34) in front of it. It is 652-541-356. They also give a fax number: 34-940-468-530. The so-called claims agent's address is given as Mr. Sabastin Antonio, C/Santander, 1 28008 Madrid, Spain. It seems however that the email itself is coming from Germany (.de suffix), so they have an accomplice there. That email is infostrustclaim@aim.com. I haven't been to Germany since I was 9 so that's not where they got MY email... Someone local, please let the local police know about this so they can stop these people. I'm a European living in Los Angeles who travels A LOT and this is my only bad experience with Spain. I was in Ibiza and Palma De Majorca when I was 12 and had a GREAT time! I LOVE Spain! Of course, there are some pick-pockets but they are everywhere! You just have to be careful. Women, don't cary a purse. Wear high boots and keep your ID and $ in there! :)
