North American Lottery Corporation
Sent Notification of Prize Winning with Bad Check for $$, 950.00 Requesting Payment of Taxes $2, 900.00

On December 1, 2006, I received a letter in the mail indicating that I had won $33, 000.00 in a Lottery. A check for the amount of $4, 900.00 was included.

The letter instructed me to deposit the check and send the amount due for taxes $2, 900.00 through Western Union or Money Gram. I contacted Mr. Steve Jones (647) 868-9421), the "Claim Agent" to verify if this was a hoax.

I also contacted the following companies:

Ruch Industries Inc
150 Herricks Road
Mincola NY 11501
(516) 741-0346
www.rushindustries.com

HSBC Bank USA
452 Fifth Ave
New York, NY 10018 (800) 975-4722

All contacts verified that the check was good and that I should deposit it.

On December 8, 2006, I deposited the check.
On December 18, 2006, the Check was returned to me by the bank.
