I received this letter in the mail from Euro Millions Lottery claiming that I won $250, 000.00 which I didn't even enter into any drawing of any lottery.
I was suspecious at the first site of this. They also sent me a REAL check that was on a check stock called Versa Check Stock that anyone can pick up at your local computer store such as Staples or Office Depot. If someone has the right software on their computer could easliy fraud someone using these checks.
I called around at different places trying to verify all of the info that was on this check. Supposively, the bank does exists and so does the maker on the check. But when I called the bank on the check to verify funds, they told me that they could not verify any funds.
Then, I called the maker on the check and it turned out to be some private business owner and claimed that he recieved 3 phone calls today from people trying to verify the maker. Even he said the check was bogus.
So, then I called this number in the letter they sent me and she started explaining to me how I won. What they do is send you a letter with a check for the insurance and taxes for how much you supposively won.
Then she told me and that I should cash it at my local bank or anywhere she said. Then I was to call her back to let her know I cashed it and then she said she would sign me a bonds man or something, then once they verified that they received the funds, then they would mail me a check for $250, 000.00 to my household residence.
I called her back to let her know that they are scaming people and I informed her that I would be contacing the BBB and I was going to leave a report on here and then she hung up on me after a brief sigh. So people, if you get ANYTHING from a lottery overseas claiming that you won you didn't. All of these lottery companies are scaming their way through hard working people to amke their living. They will be punished by a higher power.
If you do get one of these checks, rip it up and report it.
