I received a letter in the mail on Saturday stating that i was the 2nd prize winner of some international sweepstakes that was drawn on October 14th 2007. They had given me a serial number and five lucky winning numbers. They stated on the letter that i had won 470, 000 American dollars.
On the next paragraph they were stating that they are a company that was hirred by the international sweepstakes to pay off the winner. also they tried explaining that they send me a check on 4, 500 dollars which it was provided to me so i can pay them 3, 500 dollars in taxes to one of tax agents which her name was Debra Sage.
They asked on me to call my claim agent which he goes by the name of Chris Miller at 1-315-519-4405 and they didn't want me to do anything until i called him so he can give me instruction on how to go about claiming my money.
When i called a guy with a really thick Indian accent answered the phone and i asked to speak to Chris. He said that was him and i told him about the letter. well he told me to go deposit my check into my account then call him and he would give me more instructions. When i asked him if this is a scam and that my dad was a lawyer he started yelling at me on the phone saying that he was going to cancel my winning.
Once i got off the phone with him i called my lawyer he look into it and he found out that this guys Chris is a huge scam artist. The address on the check that they had send me it was from an action company in North Carolina. I called them also to let them know what was going on and i faxed them the letter and a copy of the check.
