I recieved a letter from World-Wide Lottery Promotions with a check for 2, 950.00. It stated that i had won third place category winnings of 65, 000.00.
The 2, 950.00 check was for international clearing fees. I was to cash and return the money back to the agent tracy vance by the 27th of april. In which i was to recieve the total of 58, 150.00 minus 3, 900.00 (6% sponsors commission plus tax). It stated that i keep this award from the public until my claim had been processed and the money remitted to my account, as this was part of thier security protocol to avoid double claiming or unwarranted taking advantage of the progam by the participants and public.
I had contact Trace vance of hanson finacial management group at 902 Liberty ave. suite 114, winnipeg, mb r4c 6h7 an accredited agency of the lottery board at tel:1-403-383-1389 signed by a prize director by the name of joan Ilan
I had already deposited the check before I found out this was a scam the check was from the Pacific Trust bank in San Deiago California. My bank accepted the check it was very conv. When I called to claim my winnings a man answered with a heavy accent and asked if i had cashed the check I told him that they had put a hold on it because it was an out of state check.
He then told me that it would clear and asked if I could borrow the money to send asap because i was running out of time. And they could not wait for the check to clear. Then he said that he would ask his manager what they could do for me and in a matter of 2 seconds he says that they could take 2, 000.00 insted and to see if I could get that to them by western union today.
I told him that I did not have that kind of money and if I had supossedly had won this why did I have to pay. He insisted that it was a fee that had to be paid in order for me to recieve the rest of my winnings.
I told him that I was unsure about it because I have heard about these kinds of scams and he said he understood and ensured me that this was not a scam! But as I regertfully found out I was not the only person that has been scamed by the same people but they are useing different names. The address is what had gotten my attention it was the same address. Beware!!!
