Screams of SCAM!

Business & Finance

There must be a way to stop these rip-off artists. My young relative received a letter stating that her husband was a winner of $125, 000 lottery prize of which he received $4, 850.00 via check to be deposited in his bank account for payment of non-resident government tax.

My relative was excited as she and her husband were experiencing severe financial difficulties but she was smart enough to ask me first what I thought of the check though it looked very genuine.

Aside from all the grammatical errors (usually a dead give-away) this was too good to be true especially when no one submitted anything to a lottery board or sweepstake commission as was implied in the letter.

There must be a way the authorities can nip these types of actions in the bud as soon as reports such as this one and others are filed. Why is it necessary to wait for an epidemic before anyone will look at these actions?

I want to personally thank the complaint organization for having the foresight to post a web site that provides a valuable resource for checking out companies and for being so very discrete in keeping in confidence those of us who report these scams.
