I called the New York Commercial Bank, Westbury, NY to verify the check drawn against them. They told me to destroy the check, it's fraudulent.
The accompanying letter says I'm the "lucky winner on February 5th, 2009" of $100, 000.00. The check in the amount of $3187.44 is apparently supposed to cover the processing fee that "International Law stipulates that a winner pays... before his/her funds are released. The same law also preents you from paying the fees out of your personal funds." The contact person is supposedly MARY BANKS at 1-514-569-0552. They have also put a deadline of February 24th, 2009 after which time the funds "shall be forfeited".
If anyone has any information about reporting or prosecuting these persons it would be helpful if they could post them here with their report.
