I received this check from Zurich and Shaw with notification that I had won a draw from my utility company bill and the North American utilities companies FOR $46, 500.00 I was suspicious from the start, even though my check was water marked. I looked online, but there were still things about my letter that made it seem more "real".
I called and spoke to a woman with a very heavy french accent. She claimed her name to be Sarah Bissar. As I went through the routine she was very pleasant, but when I questioned the authenticity of the check she became irate with me. I called the bank on the check for $2780.00 (First Commonwealth in Indiana, PA) and they said that this was a bank check, a cashiers check but that the number of this check had not been sold yet. Therefore this check would cash and clear, but then come back fradulent.
I am completely disapointed in the justice system. It appears like there is no way to hold these people responsible for their actions. I hope that others read this before they deposit their checks. The company will continue to change details to make them more authentic, but they are frauds. I continue to call Zurich and Shaw, trying to claim my "prize", but it has become more like entertainment for me. I did notify my ulitie companies and the local police. I also have spoke with the bank on the check and my bank.
If a class action suit is available I would love to participate. At this point, I don't even care about the money, I just think it is wrong with what they are "getting away with".
