I received a letter today dated 3/24/2008 from Fido marketing solutions Inc., 475 Brookside DR Frederiction., New Brunswick, . E3A 8Z4 Canada, saying I was a winner in the second category of Sweepstakes, (Claim # FM/LC/8/6/N) with a check enclosed for the amount of $4, 365.85 deducted from my winnings ($180, 000 US Dollars) to assist me in paying for the Non Resident Government Tax - $2, 800.00 to go to Surcharges/Govt.tax due on your winning, but not to do anything until contacting Daniel Peters at 1-647-233-1285 for activation, letter was signed by Russell Weinstein (Client Care Manager).
Check was a Citibank Delaware, One Penns Way, New Castle Delaware, from Global Services Inc., Accounts Payable Dept. P.O. Box 2339, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002- looked real. I couldn't find anything under any of these names.
I wondered how these people came up with my name and address - I never enter anything. Well, I may be broke, but I'm not stupid. So, I happened upon this site and sure enough, there were other stories with the same scam just under different people. Hopefully you can do something. GO GET 'EM.
