Imperial Financial Settlement LLC
Intex Trading Ltd. Said I won $150, 000 & sent me a check for $4910.00 written on a Bank of America check from Los Angeles, but I had to deposit this check into my checking account & wait for it to clear & then call them

I received this letter from Imperial Financial saying I had won $150, 000. I called & asked how I won this $ & was asked if I shopped at Kmart, WalMart or Best Buy. I said all of them. Then I was told I must have filled in a contest card & I was drawn as a 2nd place winner & won all this money.

I then asked why they sent me a check for $4910 & wanted me to send it back to them or their assigned 'Tax Agents'? I was told by a Ken Wilson, that they needed me to deposit this check into my account so it would come back to them to verify that I was the correct person cashing the check, so they could send the balance between this amount & the $150, 000 by certified check, that I won, by UPS.

I asked-why would I send them the money back if I had not received any money to pay any taxes ON & why would I pay THEM back money in taxes if they are in Canada & am in the USA? Ken got rather impatient with me & said that was just how they do it.

He was very insistant that I deposit this check asap as he had 'activated' it with my call & it needed to be put into my account now & congratulated me for winning. I told him I would do that.

I then called B of A & found out they had no account with that number on it & called the bank & was asked to bring it in so they could check it out as it sounded like fraud to them, which I am going to do!
