I received a letter on 9/13/07 from The Royal Windsor Lottery. It came with a check for $4, 988.00. The check was from Intercoastal Property Services in Los Angeles, Ca. drawn on the First Regional Bank in Century City, Ca. It stated that myself and 38 other U.S. winners were drawn to win $4, 000, 000.00, which would make my winnings $105, 263.15.
According to the letter, Hedges & White were holding my funds until I could claim it. The check I was sent was to cover the "non residential tax" to be paid to the British Lottery board officials. The $4, 988.00 would be deducted from my winnings to give me a total of $94, 736.84. It told me to call their office and claim my prize to activate my check. This claim expires on 9/24/07. It told me to "ensure to be confidential about my lottery winnings, to avoid multiple claims from friends and family, as it could result in total cancelation."
So... Being a suspicious person we looked up the different companies involved on the internet. Hedges & White brought up zilch. I got the phone # for the bank and called to verify funds. The funds were verifiable, BUT, the woman told me the check was way out of sequence, and she suggested that I contact Intercoastal Property Services LLC. The first person I spoke with there was HORRIBLE!!! She insisted that there was noway I had a check from them. I gave her all the info off the check, and she still insisted that I was wrong.
She transfered me to another woman there. I gave her all the info and she said it had to be fraud. They have nothing to do with the lottery in Canada. She said this would be a old check number, and asked that I send her a copy. These pieces of trash need to be locked up!!! How they ever got checks from a propert management company to defraud honest people is amazing to me.
