I recieved a letter from Amerigate Solution and on the envelope the company is C.F.G Inc. The letter states that every year a drawing is placed by Amerigate Solutions for North American telecommunication companies. The letter states that the drawing took plane on July 6th, 2007.
The letter states that I am the third place winner with a lump sum of $49, 00USD out of the total winning prize of $670, 000USD. They also said that I have to clear my IRS deduction before I can recieve my winnings, so they included a check from Deleware Bank and Trust for the amount of $3, 165.00.
They stated that I will need to contact my Agent: Tamara Henry with my Ballot ID number: US450-955 PB at this number Agent Contact Number: 1-306-351-5517. So I called and spoke to Tamara Henry, she said that I would need to deposit the check through my ATM and contact her. She will then after I deposited that check she will provide me the name of my Tax Agent.
So I deposited the check, and she gave me my Tax Agent's name, Micheal Harin. She said that once the check have cleared, then she'll give me the rest of Micheal's information to contact him and then he'll tell me where to send that $3, 165.00 to clear my tax. And after I send that $3, 165 to him, then within 72 hrs I would recieve the rest of my winnings, which is $46, 000USD. Tamara also stated that I must have my letter with me because it have a barcode that must be scanned when the rest of my winnings is delivered.
I asked Tamara over and over if this its a fraudulent check and if this whole thing is a scam and if it is I will report their company. She assured me that it's not and that she understood my concern in regards to the winnings may be a scam. She assured me that it was legit and they do this every year. She said that it's very legit and that is why they are providing a check of $3, 165 to clear my taxes before I recieved the rest of my winnings.
The $3, 165 check was placed on hold and it never cleared. So the check is in process of returning back to me from my bank and a fee was charged to my account. I then contacted Amerigate and asked them what was going on and they couldn't give me an answer. I spoke to a man by the name of Paris who was handling Tamara's files because she wasn't available. He stated that his company will contact the bank and clear up everything. And because the situation is an inconvenient to me, they will go ahead and send off the whole $49, 000 winning to me within 72 hours from date 08/30/07. Well, I didn't see anything within the 72 hours.

The address on the letter is:
