On Friday June 29, 2007 I received a plain white envelope with a Canada stamp and no return address was delivered to my house with a letter inside stating I had won my share of $5, 654, 000.00 my winning was $48, 500.00. They also sent a check for $2, 985.00, on my behalf, to pay the Lotto Regulatory Board for the surcharge on my winnings. suposedly my phone number or utility bills were selected through a computer ballot system out of 149, 000. I was given ticket number: 5644581 with the serial number 65489. A contact number and persons were listed in the letter; Mrs. Antonia Jenkins or Mr. Jerome Thomas. I did call the number to see if this was a scam. The first time I called Mr. Jerome Thomas answered the phone and said to put the check in the bank and call him back when it clear, and he will tell me how to send the $2, 985.00 back. I stated to myself this has to be a scam because their was one sentence in my letter: "Keep winning confidential until your prize money is received to avoid multiple claims.: Keep quiet! Who can keep quiet when they are told that they had won $48, 500.00. Not me. When I called back on Tuesday, Mrs Jenkins answered the phone, she ask me had the check cleared. I told her that the check was a bad check.
She did not get upset only stated that it is a good check. She put me on hold for a minute came back and said that her boss would call me back in 20mins to make other arrangments for me to get my winnings. No, her boss did not call me back in 20mins. I called back, Mrs Antionia Jenkins did not pick up it went to voicemail. THIS IS A SCAM!!!
