Premier Financial Securities Inc mailed in a blank envelope a winning final notification for a shoppers sweepstakes prize of $250, 000.00 US Dollars. Enclosed in the envelope was a check in the amount of $4, 890.00 with instructions to contact them before depositing the check. The letter also stated the taxes due on the winnings is $2, 985.00 to be paid either by moneygram or western union. Now how could they possibly know how much US tax is due? And I thought that, if this were legitimate, then I would be responsible for filing the taxes myself, not the company. The letter also notes "Please do not attempt to use this check until you call." That was the final signal that this a definite scam and fraud. I am so glad I checked the internet before calling these scam artists.
