This company is using the same premise as others have that are reported on this site.
They sent a winning certificate with a cashier's check for $1, 380 supposedly from our sponsor to make sure we're able to pay the international clearance fee to receive the $48, 000 we've won. It further instructs to deposit the check and call the agent attorney who will organize the processing and remittance of your prize money to the destination of your choice.
I first called the agent attorney to get more information. The man who answered the phone did so that you couldn't understand the name of the firm. He said it the same garbled way when I asked him to repeat it.
He didn't even ask my name, but did ask if I'd cashed the check yet, to which I answered no. He said I must cash the check first before he could talk to me about anything else.
That's when I researched the sweepstakes on the internet and this site popped up. I also called the Municipal Credit Union in New York to see if the check issued by them was good. It is fraudulent, verified by Citibank.
Thank you for having this consumer watchdog site. It saved us alot of heartache and money!
