I received a check for $2, 990.00 which looks authentic. I was notified that I had won a $250, 000 sweepstakes and I was to use this check to pay applicable Government Service Tax for non Canadian residents. The tax amount was going to be $2, 350. I got on the internet and tried to locate the name on the check (M & M Officials) in Grapevine, Texas I couldn't find anything. The Letterhead that came with the check was from abc financial located in New Brunswick, Canada which led me to this site and I saw a complaint regarding the same situation. I was to call Justin Duke at 778-317-1755 and the tax agent in New York was Anthoony Goldman (no phone number).
I will keep the check but I won't cash it. Thanks for letting us know about this scam.
