I RECEIEVED A $4, 795.00 CHECK DRAWN OFF OF COLORADO CAPITAL BANK--THAT PARTICULAR BANK HASN'T OFFICIALLY USED THAT NAME SINCE 1998, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THIS PARTICULAR BANK FAILED IN MARCH OF 2009. THE CHECK I RECEIVED WAS DATED 6/15/2009...
THE ACCOMPANIED LETTER STATED THAT I HAD WON AN INTERNATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES THAT WAS DRAWN ON MAY 10TH, 2009 IN NEVEDA. THE SWEEPSTAKES WAS SUPPOSEDLY ORGANIZED BY FIDELITY INTERNATIONAL LOTTO, SLIDECIRCUIR AWARDS AND HEINEKEN PROMOTIONS, AND I WAS RANDOMLY SELECTED BY THEIR DATA BASE OF NORTH AMERICAN CLAIMS, AND EMERGED AS A WINNER IN THE 7TH CATAGORY WITH 200 OTHER PEOPLE, AND WE WERE TO SHARE A $250, 000.00 AWARD.
I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL THEM BEFORE CASHING MY CHECK, WHICH WAS BEING SUPPLIED SO THAT I COULD PAY THE APPLICABLE TAX AMOUNT OF $2990.00, AND THAT THE FEES WERE PAYABLE THROUGH A GOVERNMENT TAX AGENT THROUGH WESTERN UNION. THE LETTER FURTHER SAYS THAT THE SHOPPER SWEEPSTAKES WAS ACCREDITED BY THE BBB AND SPONSORED BY THE INTEL GROUP, MICROSOFT, WAL-MART, SEARS, LOWES, HOME DEPOT, ETC. THERE WAS A LOT OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS--THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAPITILIZED WERE NOT, AND THE WORDING WAS STRANGE. EXAMPLE: "WE ARE PLEASED TO INFORM YOU THAT YOUR FILE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO OUR NORTH AMERICAN CLAIMS AFFILIATE FOR THE REMITTANCE OF YOUR FUND."
