I received a letter from RBC Financial indicating that I had won an Sweepstakes and Lottery Draw held on July 20, 2008. The letter said that I had won $125, 000.00 and I was to call either Brenda Adams, or John Anderson, Claims Agents.
The check enclosed was for $4, 850.00, to assist me in paying the Non Resident Government Tax (GST). The tax amount was for $2, 950.00 and I was asked to send it via Money Gram.
The letter was signed by John Garfield, Promotions Manage (no r!)
When I called John Anderson, I was told to deposit the check in my bank account and call back the next day when it cleared. Needless to say, I did NOT deposit this check and found that others had reported a similar experience.
Don't let this happen to you!!
