I have received a letter & Check (US$ 4, 450.00) from a company claims to be A.C.B. Financial Services, INC. based out of canada saying my wife is a winner in "Compensation Draw" organized for all consumers in Conjunction with SWEEPSTAKES ASSOCIATION OF NORTHAMERICA.
As per letter my wife is entitled to receive Sum of US $250, 000. They have advised us to contact claim Agents David Johnson and Mary Richards on 1-778-323-4468.
The check of US $ 4, 450.00 is given to us to pay Non Resident Government Service tax (GST). They have also provided a TAX Agent information: Sara Smith 177 Broadway road, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada and the tax amount which needs to be paid is US $3, 860.00
I am sure this is a total fraud for the following reasons.
Company A.C.B is from Canada. Tax Agent is from Canada. Check comes from Unigus Steel, Inc. which as per the address on check is from Dallas, TX. Unigus website says they are steel manufacture and site does not have a professional look and have no phone numbers to contact.
Check amount is USD 4450 and tax which needs to be paid is USD 3860. Why they are giving you 500 extra.
The check looks authentic and it may work, but I think in order to get consumers bank checking account number they send it to you. You deposit and they will get the account number and then they can start playing with it.
And the contact number which they have provided for David and Mary is a cell phone from Vancouver.
