Complaint Verified Safe
I received a Winning Final Notification apparently from a shoppers Sweepstakes held on Jan. 26th, 2009. It claims that I am entitled to the sum of $250, 000. Looks official with claim number and phone number.
Enclosed with the letter is a Check made out to me for the sum of $4, 980. The address on the check is from Greenwich Securities 101 Krestel Drive, Collegeville, PA 19426. A different address than the letter.
My instuctions are to deposit the check in order to pay the Government taxes on my winnings before they could be awarded. Once I would make the deposit I would then receive an address as to where to send my tax money paid by either Moneygram or Western Union. RED FLAG!
I did not deposit the check so that they would not be able to receive my banking information on the returned check. I also could not find any legitimate information regarding the company or the addresses on the internet
I have also notified the US Postal Service in regards to mail Fraud.
