Received unmarked letter in mail from Fast Forwarding Securities Inc. stating I had won sweepstakes for $250, 000USD for the "Shoppers Sweepstakes" included was check for $4, 998.00 dollars. Check was to cover payment of applicable Government taxes on my "Big" winnings. they claimed that I must call first to their claims dept. within 5 business days for "further clarification" And then sent them $2, 995.00 USD by Moneygram or Western Union. Claim agent uses name of Kelly Anderson and Promotion Manager uses name of Mary Brown.
Clue to scam was that check is from FAST FORWARDING SECURITIES AND LETTERHEAD WAS MISPELLED AS FAST FORWARDING SECURITIS. The check is drawn on reputable bank- Boston PVT Bank & Trust in Bostan MA. USA but when I went to their website they have fraudulent check scam section explaining that this company is exactly like others that have been forwarding fraudulent checks on their company and is BOGUS!
Take check and envelope to US Postal service for their fraud dept.
