I received a letter including a check drawn on Chase Manhattan Bank, NA in the amount of $4875, stating this to be the first payment of my total DE-Lotto winnings of $125, 000.
I was to call an Ontario Canada number for my assigned claims agent for intructions on how to pay my taxes via Western Union or Moneygram "directly to a tax agent" in the amount of $2875.
I searched the website www.usaconsumercomplaints.com and found two other hits to fellow americans, one in Ohio and one in Texas, who also had received this scam and reported it. I want to thank both those folks for saving me some valuable time in researching this scam and for the creators of this website for prividing honest folks a place to communicate our experiences.
I have notified the fraud department at JP Morgan Chase regarding this scam.
