I received a letter in the mail from Concept Financial Trust that told me I won $56,985 and along with the letter was a check for $2,985.in the letter it told me to contact my agent, Steve Davis at 604-780-3842 after calling that number a recording came on that said to call another number 514-583-6498.
I called the new number and spoke to a man who I thought was Steve Davis. He said all I needed to do was deposit the check into my bank account and once the check cleared I was supposed to withdraw the money call him back and he would then give me an address to a tax agency where I was supposed to go to pay for the taxes on my inital price amount of $56,985.
I was so excited about winning the money I never stopped to think that it was not real. He said there was 3 categories with various prize amounts, told me to make sure to keep the paper with me at all times because if someone finds it and tries to claim the prize then no one will get it.
I did deposit the check. The bank said that it would not clear until midnight so I would not be able to take the cash out until the next day. Being excited about the winnings I told a few people who really made me stop to think about it. So I went home and googled Concept Financial Trust and found usacomplaints.com that were already made about this company. I called my bank and nothing had happed yet so I put a restraint on my account in case they got my bank details and tried to take my money. I will have to wait to see what will happen but PLEASE do not fall for this. If only I would have taken a deep breath and thought about what was actually happening.
