I received a letter from Union Financial Group. They claim I was a winner of the North-American Sweepstakes Lottery on April28th 2006 from the Inc category for $1 million USD. They list a ticket number and the winning nubers. Enclosed with the letter was a check for $4850.00. I am told to contact a Kevin James at 519-694-2532 for further instructions before cashing the check. I was told to deposit the check into my personal checking account and then to call him back once that is done for further info.
When I asked why I had to contact him again he said it was becasue I had to pay the taxes from the check in the amount of $2850.00 That he would give me the USA contact and who to send the moneygram or western union payment to. The trick was I had to send this out the same day I deposited the check, I could not wait for the check to clear. When I refused he got upset and I disconnected the call.
The check was issued from The Northern Trust Co. in Chicage Il. It does look like a legit check when you look at it. It has watermarks and security marks on it.
I obviuosly have not fallen for this scam. I hope that no one else does to. Please be aware if you receive anything from them.
