If you ever recieve a letter from Pacific Lottery Corportation claiming you won large sums of money, and they send you a check to cover your applicable taxes on your winnings. I advise you NOT to respond or call them. They are nothing but a scam, they will ask you to deposit that check for it to clear, and when it does they will ask you to do a wire transfer/money transfer.
I've been a victim of this scam of theirs, after doing my due diligence and thought this company was legitimate I've been scammed/ripped off. Please report this to law enforcement and your local bank, don't and I mean't don't cash/deposit those checks because they may look real but they are nothing more but counterfeit, fraudulent checks. If you cash them, they will bounce and you will owe the debt.
When you contact law enforcement, give them the numbers that is beneath this letter and have them investigate it. Along with the phone number on their website. Have them track them down and put these low life criminals into jail for life. Thank you!
Here is the letter that I recieved, I will not enclose my name to protect myself from these con-artists.
