Associated Consultants Inc. Toronto, Ontario Canada
Sent me a $4900 check, not certified!!! just through the mail and a letter that states I won $100000

I was sent a letter in the mail with a $4900 check in it! A letter enclosed told me I had won this money through the North American Sweepstakes. I was supposed to call Mr. Ray King, my claim agent, to be able to collect my money. He told me to deposit my check in my checking account and then call him back so he could tell me how to send my $3900 in taxes. I called my mom who is a CPA and she told me to call him back and ask about the taxes and who I am paying these taxes to. I called him back and asked about the taxes and he told me I was going to pay Canadain taxes and then I asked about the US taxes and he told me I did not have to pay those immediately. He told me to get things started go deposit my check and then call him back. I asked, what if I do not have a checking account? He told me to ask a relative to deposit it and that is when I completely believed this was a total scam!!

There is no way that any company would send a $4900 check through the mail, without any type of certification. Secondly anyone can put water marks in a fraudulent check, I see this everyday at where I work. Thirdly he told me he got my info from Walmart or JCPenneys. I never shop at JCPenneys and I do shop at Walmart so I called the store manager and asked some questions. Finally the letter says that you have 5 days and my check and letter were dated on 9/30/08 and I received it on 10/10/08!!! The check that I received is from a National H. Rod Association out of Glendora, California and they used Union Bank of California out of Riverside, California.

If anyone is trying to go after these scammers, I will join in the band wagon!!! They are preying on vulnerable people who are struggling to make ends meet!!!

Thank you for your time and do not bite!!!
