Global Financial - Incyte - Union Bank Of California Letter, lottery winner for $120, 000, check for $2920, call to confirm & when I did, mailbox was full

I received a letter on 12/27/07 which was dated 12/12/07 from Global Financial Services in E. Toronto, Ontario. There was a check includd from Incyte Corporation drawn on a Union Bank of California in the amount of $2920.00. It appeared to be real.

The letter stated that I had won a lottery for $120, 000 but there was some mixup in the ticket numbers, so I had to call in order to confirm and "activate" my check. Here's the kicker - I had to do it by 12/28, and I only received the letter on 12/27.

I knew immediately this had to be a scam. I called the number they gave me anyway. I got a voice message saying the mailbox was full, so then I checked on line for similar scams and confirmed that it was indeed a scam.

These things have to stop. Those of us who are informed enough won't get hurt by scams like this, but I worry about the elderly and uninformed. How can we stop these things from happening?
