I got a letter in the mail saying that an entry slip with serial numbers 23966410798 attached to my name was drawn and i am entitled to the sum of $79, 850. Along with the letter came a check 3, 933.25 to be used to pay taxes on my winnings. The letter told me to contact my claim agent JEFF ORTEGA at 1-778-858-1942. I contacted him and he told me to deposit the check into my bank account then call him after I did so that he could release funds and then i could send a money gram to MS. SUSAN SPENSER my "Tax Agent". I googled the company name and found this rip off report. I called Jeff Ortega back and when i mentioned the rip off report he hung up on me and now all of my calls are routed to a voicemail that is full. I called the bank the check is drawn from Chevy Chase Bank in Bethesda MA. The rep i spoke to there said that the check could be fradulent and to take it to my bank and have them check it out before depositing. She transferred me to a number where i could verify funds on the check. The funds for the check were unavailible so i am sure that this is just someone trying to scam me. Wanted to put the word out there so nobody gets riped off.
