I received a letter and a very authentic looking check out of a U.S. Bank in Montana for $4875.00. The letter told me I won a lottery in Canada for $125, 000 and that they had made many unsuccessful attempts to contact me and we're sending the first check but that the tax amount on the monies were $2875.00 and had to be sent by Western Union or Moneygram directly to the tax agent. I was to contact them at their phone number before cashing the check but within 10 days. They also encouraged me to keep the winnings confidential until the claim has been processed and my cash is remitted to me as part of their security protocol to avoid double claiming or unscrupulous acts.
Unscrupulous acts are on their part. I looked the company up on the internet and found on this website someone else had the same letter sent. I'm not sending $2875.00 and then depositing a check that is no good, that will cost me more money.
Somebody needs to stop them from ripping unsuspecting people off, especially the elderly who might not understand.
