I got a letter today from Ramco Financial Services, International Claim Department stating it was my WINNING FINAL NOTIFICATION with a check for $4875.00 in it that looked totally legitimate from a bank in Florida called Bankatlantic. It said I was one of 36 declared winners in the American-Corporate Alliance Sweepstakes held on January 5th, 2007 in the 2nd category.

It says they have made many unsuccesful attempts to contact me, and I need to contact them within 5 business days. They stated that the enclosed check was for me to deposit (but not until I contact them). This check is part of my winnings to cover Government Taxes of $2950.00 that I have to send by Western Union or Money Gram to the "tax agent" they will provide me with.

Once I do this, they will send me a check for the remainder of my winnings in the amount of $245, 125.00 delivered by Fed Ex. The letter was signed by a Mrs. Jacqueline Ryback (Promotion Manager)

I called the phone number 1-416-820-2920 to a Miss Nicky Anderson's voice mail, asking me to leave a message... BUT the mailbox was full. Hmm, go figure.

I then proceeded to search the information on the letter and check. The bank, Bankatlantic in Coral Springs, FL., was legitimate. I called their 24/7 800 number and talked to a banking representative. I gave them the information off the check and they told me that the account did exist, but was closed. They told me NOT to attempt to cash or deposit the check. They could only give me minimal information, but basically informed me that this was a scam and the account was bogus.

I couldn't get any information on the Ramco Financial Services that has an address of 4341 NW 80th Ave #100 in Coral Springs, FL 33065 that the account belonged to. And I couldn't get any information on the International Claim Department in Toronto, ONT Canada.

The envelope that the letter and check came in had no return address on it, a pre printed label with my name and address on it, and a canadian stamp on it.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY. I know the check looks legitimate, but it is NOT. Don't get excited, it's bogus! It is a scam to get your money.By the time the check gets returned to your account unpaid, you'll be out the money they wanted you to pay in taxes by Western Union or Money Gram and there will be NOTHING you can do about it. There is NO FINAL CHECK, there are NO WINNINGS!
