I had a letter sent to my home saying that I was a winner for a sweepstakes in total $125, 000. There was a check sent along with this notification for $4, 875 to supposedly pay the taxes that were due. There was brief contact information and it seemed pretty legit mainly because they sent a check that looked real. When you call the number they provided and notified them you have recieved the check they DID indeed cash the check!!! We recieved $4, 875 from them. After the check was cashed we were instructed to take $2, 875 of the funds and Western Union it to Linda Hans 404 Revenue office Toronto, Canada M9M2x2. 24 hours later we called the number back 905-598-4503. This is when they instructed us that our package "winnings" have been sent to the wrong address and they would need another $1, 200 to recieve it... lol. Needless to say we did not do this step simply because a free $2, 000 dollars didnt seem too much of a loss. We are going to continue to work with them giving them no more funds until they send us another check. We havent been able to contact them, but this could be because they are on EST. Thats where we are at so far. It is my advice that if you recieve this check and have it DO call the number and get the check cashed, however DO NOT pay the "taxes" until you find out more information from either this website or others just like it with UPDATES. Letter was dated October 05, 2009.
