I was excited to find a check in my mail for $4, 980.00. but upon further scrutiny I knew it had to be a scam. Platinum Point Securities Inc. addressed a letter "Sir/Madam" - we are pleased to inform you that you are one of the declared winners of the SHOPPERS SWEEPSTAKES, Ticket # 498561256 and the lucky winning # 49-55-77-80-02. They went on to say that they attempted to contact me regarding the $250, 000.00 I had won from a total prize of $5 million US dollars! It further reads:
The Claim Number is WA/SDH-0101. The taxes were $2, 995.00 US dollars. Please do not attempt to use this check until you call Lewis McGregor at 1-647-894-7624. Contact Mr. McGregor within 5 business days. Congratulations Barbara Bryan (Promotion Manager).
I called information and got 2 numbers for banks in Michigan. 1-800-888-3595 and 1-800-347-7276 in Lavonnia Michigan. I called the bank in Lavonnia and the lady answered and verified that there was a Comerica Bank in Michigan, she could not tell me anything about the issuer - but verified by the routing and check numbers on the check that it was an active account.
Platinum Point Inc (was the company name)
4055 Telegraph Rd
Bloomfield, MI 48302
Comerica Bank (was the address to the bank)
4057 W Maple Road
Bloomfield HI, MI 48031
I went to the internet to find the company and found this Rip Off scam site.
