I receive a letter a long with the check of $3, 426.33 stating that I won the 2008 HOMELIFE TRUST STIMULUS SWEEPTAKES INCENTIVE that was held on March 30, 2009, and my name was selected from a recent home/property purchase data base and I am among the 100 winners out of 500, 000 names. The letter further states that the check is partial payment of my winning of $37, 500.00. To help expedite the claim Homelife sent me the check of $3, 426.33 to help pay for the taxes and surety bond fees that will cost me $3, 081.70.
The letter further states that I need to call Mrs Allison May at 1-866-892-6937 or 1-213-455-7987 for further clarification and instructions on claiming my winning. I therefore called Mrs. May and was informed that I need to deposit the check that I just received and after it clears my account then I need to call her back for further instruction on claiming the rest of my money. I deposited the check into my account on July 9, 2009 the bank credit my account the next day, but I waited to make sure that the check really cleared my account, sadly on July 13, 2009 the check bounced. I attempted to call Mrs. May back on several occasions, but no one picked up the phone and the other phone # that I was given on the letter 1-213-455-7987 is also disconnected.
I wonder how many people really failed into their traps of this scams by sending them the money for the taxes and fees as Mrs. May instructed me to do.
