I recieved a letter from WATERHOUSE FINANCIAL INC. with an enclosed check of $4880.00. It appears at first that everything is legit. The check looked real, but don't fall into this scam.
I called the number for "Bob Morris" and got an individual that could hardly speak english. He didn't have any Canadian French accent, it was more Middle Eastern. When I started asking him questions, he seemed to get agitated and said that if I didn't want to claim my "Prize" it would be donated to a charity.
Before I proceeded to deposit the check as directed to do, I Googled "Waterhouse Financial" and found "High_hopes" report which said, "I am reporting that the check is only to give money back to the Company that sent it... The letter said all I had to do was cash the check and wait. How it is done... they expect you to take the money and deposit it, then they want you to send cash or check of the amount of $2985.00 (to pay the tax of the larger winnings). YAH RIGHT!!! A few days later the bogus check will bounce and you will be out the ammount of the check and the money you sent out."
DO NOT FALL INTO THIS SCAM
DO NOT CASH THE CHECK
...
the best thing to do is report the company that sent it, heed with caution when dealing with this.

WATERHOUSE FINANCIAL IS NOT REAL!
