I am writing from Naples, Fl. where I am checking on my parents property with the hurricanes and all. My friend is collecting my mail and she opened up the mail and said I have won a prize with a check that for all intensive purposes seemed legit.
My neighbors were thrilled for me as I have been struggling very hard financially. Many of my neighbors were given permission to look at the check to see if it was nothing but a scam, but all seemed to think the check was legit.
I was told in a letter that I need to go to the Moneygram Store in every Wallmarts to redeem the check but that I had to verify the claim number with a Susan Gibson at the #1-416-837-2501.
I called the number to inquire, and a Haitian speaking individual, that "Didn't Know Nothing", and was told to call Susan Gibson back in two hours. Then hung up on me.
I also walked into Moneygram at the nearest Walmart near me and inquired. I also inquired with the Assistant Manager of Walmart on duty, that had no idea what I was talking about.
I was told to contact the Federal Trade Commission, so these scam artists can be brought to justice. Just in case anyone wants to investigate this matter further; This is as much info that I have.
