I received a letter and a check today from a company called Fidelity Securities Inc out of Canada, telling me that they have been unsuccessful in contacting me regarding winnings of $125, 000.00. I am supposed to be one of 32 declared winners chosen by random computer ballot. The check was in the amount of $4, 875.00 and written from Mellon Trust of New England in Everett, MA 02149.
The check was supposed to cover the applicable taxes and was deducted from the total winnings. I was asked not to cash the check until I contact the agent on the letter. I did call was told, electronically, to call back during regular business hours, which it was according to the letter.
While I'm writing this, I noticed that the person whose name at the bottom, listed as Bryan Morgan is not the name of the signature, BMallard Jr.
When I googled this company I came up with your site and others, almost word for word telling of their letter and check. Not only was the winning amount and the check exactly what I have, the claim number is also the exact same one, XLA/CK-0213.
I suppose this is just another one of those scams like the barristers from England and Africa telling you they need your help to get the money from the estate of a once very wealthy person.
