Received a Letter from George Stanley (Claim Agent) on 3/10/09 stating I am one of the declared winners of the INTERNATIONAL SHOPPING SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY. with that letter received a Check for : $4, 975.00 to enable me to pay for my taxes in the amount of $2, 995.00 to Susan Saban 150 Elgin St. Ottawa, Canada K1P5KH who is suppose to be the "Tax Agent" as per George Stanley. Payment must be paid by MoneyGram or Western Union. "Promotion/Cliam Manager name is Mrs. Brenda Hicks"
Followed what George Stanley requested, But talked to someone at the bank first that I bank with because I had some suspicion about the letter and the check that was sent to me in a plain white envelope with no returning address and found out that this was a scam. I was told to go ahead and call him back and inform him that the money was sent through Moneygram and when I told George Stanley that I mailed out the payment he was pretty Upset and said "There was nothing in the letter that said to MAIL out the payment, you are not following Instructions" Then he wanted me to go back and get the money back and send it through Western Union. I told him that its not possible cause I already mailed it out.
