Greenwich Securities Inc, International Claim Department
BEWARE! THIS IS A SCAM! One of twenty declared winners! Final notification for the sum of $250, 00 US Dollars from Shoppers Sweepstakes And Norwood and Massachusetts

I received a Winning Final Notification apparently from a shoppers Sweepstakes held on Jan. 5th, 2009. It claims that I am entitled to the sum of $250, 000. Looks official with claim number and phone number.

Enclosed with the letter is a Check made out to me for the sum of $4, 980. The address on the check is from Greenwich Securities 249 Oceana Way, Norwood, MA. A different address than the letter.

My instuctions are to deposit the check in order to pay the Government taxes on my winnings before they could be awarded. Once I would make the deposit I would then receive an address as to where to send my tax money paid by either Moneygram or Western Union. RED FLAG!

I did not deposit the check so that they would not be able to receive my banking information on the returned check. I also could not find any legitimate information regarding the company or the addresses on the internet.
