Anchor Trust Financial Services, Inc
And "Ken Jonsen" (Claims Agent) And Joyce Brown (Tax Agent-different Address-10310 Jasper Ave. Edmonton) And Juliana Guifuld (Promotions Mgr) Sent FRAUDULENT check, lied that I won $150, 000 asked for $2990 in advance!

Hello:

I received a letter via regular U.S. Postal Service TODAY (6/30/09) from Anchor Financial Services, Inc. located at 400-10309 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5J 2W4, with a check drawn on JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA in the amount of $3, 450.00 under an account in the name of "Germania Insurance, P.O. Box 645, Brenham TX 77834" They stated I "won $150, 000 in an All-American Sweepstakes Drawing" and I had to call a Claims Agent "Larry Jonsen" at 1-778-861-7277 to arrange delivery of my $150, 000 CERTIFIED CHECK. This s.o.b. had the NERVE to say, "Your prayers have been answered! " and told me to go straight to the bank tomorrow morning and deposit the $3, 450.00 check and pay via Money Gram or Western Union $2, 990.00 for "Non-Resident Government Service Tax (GST)" and they would FedEx my $150, 000.

I was crying and screaming and basically going crazy. I was SO happy, as I am disabled and in dire need of funds. (I HAVE won several Sweepstakes, but have NEVER been asked to pay anything in advance... plus, THEY sent me the check to pay the taxes!) The man said it "was my lucky day, blah, blah, blah..." I asked "How do I know that if I send you this $, I will be GUARANTEED the $150, 000? " and he said, "I am your guarantee..." Huh? I KNEW something was up right then and there. I told him my bank puts a 10-day HOLD on checks and I cannot send the $2, 990. ("GST"). He just said to go to the bank and figure it out and call him to let him know I am sending the $2, 990.

I THEN Googled the "Anchor Trust Financial Services, Inc." and found THOUSANDS of complaints and stories EXACTLY like mine above. This particular scam is run out of CANADA and you need to do something about this. It seems these checks are stolen or otherwise fraudulent and I would be used as a vessel to cash their fraudulent checks and be LIABLE for them! No way!

I called the man "Ken Jonsen" and told him I knew it was a scam and that I am reporting him to the FBI, the Florida State Atty General, the Royal Mounted Police (who's site I am having real problems using!) and the US Postal Service. He hung up on me!

THANK YOU from the bottom of my broke little heart.

Do I get a reward? THAT would be really great considering I am really in terrible financial condition and these people probably took years off my life with their evil scam!

GO GET 'EM!!!
