There are checks floating around, particularly (but not exclusively, as they are all over the country - USA) in Pennsylvania and Texas going to private residents for $4, 880.00 perhaps with instructions to send taxes via Money Gram at Wal Mart so the recipient can claim lotto winnings of $250, 000.00
The checks are fraudulent. The account information and street address on the checks belongs to a very real company - one that has nothing to do with the scam, and I suppose these criminals in Ontario or wherever think this company is going to foot the bill for their criminal/terroristic activity. The bank they are drawn on will NOT pay these items, and they will be returned to the depositor.
DO NOT send these people ANY money, DO file a report with law enforcement ASAP and hand over all evidence you have, DO NOT deposit this check!!! This type of scam finances some of the very worst criminals on the face of the earth that bribe government officials, participate in human trafficing, and terrorize the planet.
This is a very serious matter but unfortunatly it happens every day. Don't be a victim, and watch out for your senior relatives and friends as they are easy prey for this scam.
