I think several people have already written a complaint on this company.
I too received a winning letter and what appears to be an official check. The letterhead used for my letter was 'Super Win Universal Gaming - Lotto, Publishers Clearing House, Readers Digest Sweepstakes & Internet Casino'. My check was for $3100.00 even, check # 11272. The memo section contained the numbers 6544. It was drawn on Franklin Community Bank, N.A.
I received my award notification certificate on July 10th. Mailed from Canada as well with no return address. My letter said that I had won the Ecasino Gaming Sweepstake Lottery held on the 28th of March. All participants were chosen through a computer ballot system as part of their North American promotions program. My name was attached to ticket number 320-3255-241. The company stated that I was one of six winners to share the total winning of $408, 000.00 and that my amount was $68, 000.00.
The check was made out to me for me to pay my accounting, tax processsing and clearance fees. I had until July 17, 2007 to claim my prize money. I was suppossed to 'KINDLY' deposit the check and wait 24 to 48 hours for the check to clear, and then contact my claims agent (no name) at 1-613-262-2901 at which time it would be processed and funds sent to the destination of my choice.
The letter was signed by Director of Promotions, Mr Edward Miller. I agree with Melissa, it is very hard for me to read the signature on the check.
I called the number provided and was told I had to send them $3, 000 via Western Union to process the award. I told her I would like to have the telephone number of the Franklin Community Bank and she hung up on me.
I too will report this to my local police department. Everyone Beware!!! This is a hefty amount to have to pay back the bank, let alone what further fraud could be done against my bank account.
I am glad that, even though I am a senior citizen, I am ver skeptical It would be nice to get these guys and make them pay up!
