Summit Financial Investments (Canada) sent me a notification that claimed I won $250, 000 in a second category lottery draw/sweepstakes and enclosed a very real looking check in my name, from a company called McAfee, Inc., 5000 Headquarters Drive, Plano, Texas, 75024 in the amount of $4, 700 which was supposedly already deducted from my "winnings" to pay for Canadian Non-Resident Governent Service Tax (GST), giving me a name and address of the tax agent as well as a claim agent's nae of Cindy James @1-778-316-3022, who I was to contact to begin the claim process for my winnings. The check was bearing the name of LaSalle National Bank, Chicago, Il., 60603. The letter came in an unmarked envelope with no return address, just my name typed with no stamp cancellation over a canadian stamp and the letter did not even include any type of salutation with my personal name on it. Although this company did very well in making the $4, 700 check look real, I was skepitcal as I never played any lottery. After doing a little research, I came across another "victim" with exactly the same type of letter and amount of check. Which lead me to filing this report.
