Got a letter in the mail today canadian stamp no return address and my name and address were on a printed lable inside has a printed letter and a check for 4, 620.00 the letter has in bold print fidelity and has a buisness address on the letterhead. the letter sais i won 250k and need to call qa phone number to talk to rose taillor a tax agent who will tell me where to send the 4.6k to pay the non resident taxes on my winnings.. other names in the letter of involved ppl are susan king at 1-877-316-1061 and alexandra david the promotions manager... this is an obvious scam.. only desperat people and ideots would fall for this.. so ive done nothing that they say in the letter to do.
if the FBI or aney other government agency is investigating this scam i still have the envelop, letter, and check and would be more than happy to help get these scam artests locked up.
here's a tip for aneyone reading this that hasnt responded to this or a like scam yet... when someone tells you you won a large sum of money and you didnt actualy enter the contest you're self be verry werry.. and if they tell you you need to give them money to get you're winnings even when they give you a check for the money they want you to give them its a scam 100% of the time.. a real lottery or sweepstakes would take aney taxes or fees out of the winnings automaticly w/o you needing to send money..
this looks like an organized crime money laundering scam.. more than likely what would have happened if i would have done what they said is is i would have been told to deposit the check and send them a money order or certified check for the tax ammount.. then i would have been made aware of some other fees that would have been more than the amount initialy given in the check so ide be out more moiney than they origionaly sent the bank would have found out the 4.6k check was a bad check and i would have to pay that 4.6k out of my own pocket back to the bank.. and 10/1 odds are that though everything looks canadian the people involved are midlestern or from some south american 3rd world countly and this scam would end up being a terrorist fund raiser effort...
