I was mailed a letter which stated that I won the lottery in the amount of $120, 000.00, a long with a check in the amount of $3, 450.00. The letter also stated that I was to call a claim agent, Don Rogers or Emily Taylor at (647) 686-4683. I called the number and spoke with Don Rogers, He asked me my Ref# and all the time I was recording the conversation.
I knew from the start it was a scam. He seemed very uneasy as I further grilled him on when I could get my money and be able to cash the $3, 450.00 check which the letter stated would be authorized during the phone call.( A check I knew was Junk from the start) He would not answer any of my questions and kept saying "Someone Will call You Back". Then hung up.
I did my homework prior to calling this individual. There is no Global Financial Services in Toronto. They do not exist. The phone number I was told to call in fact is a cell phone out of the Toronto area. The provider is Fido. I called Fido. That phone and number is not owned by this so -called company or individual. Most likely a stolen cell phone. I also called the company listed on the check, this one happpened to be a Pennsylvania company called W.A Dehart, Inc. The check was drawn on their account with West Milton State Bank out of West Milton, Pa. I spoke with a company representative about this issue. They know all about it. If you get one of these letters the check could be from anywhere.
Also some banks might cash a check like this and you could be out thousands of dollars. Do not try to cash it. Do as I did. Protect yourself! Report it to your Local Authorities, the USPS, and your local AG's office etc. That is what I have done and I sincerely hope anyone reading this especially elderly citizens have not been taken! These people belong behind bars!
