Universal Intertrade announced through the united states postal, I was a winner in the lotto, which I DO fill out on-line at my states (pa.) lottery site since I check my numbers on-line. The letter appeared legit. I search every scam site to ensure I was not being scammed. Nothing on this corp, appeared. The articles said some WERE legit, especially since I play the second chance lotto on my Pa. Lottery site. I went to my bank Commerce, three times, showed them the letter, how skeptical I was. Commerce assured me (3X's) it was a good check and in 24 it would clear. Still paranoid, I opened a savings acct. To put the money in when it cleared. The bank said it cleared and was authentic. Being still shakey i closed all accts. With one check to IRS that did not clear. 3 days later, without notifing wilson gifford, The bank informed me they still did not recieve the money from the U. I check, and froze what little i had in there to cover a bill. Commerce also informed me I would be held responsible for the money they did not recieve from U.I... I totally disagreed. The bank never said the word "POSTED TO THE ACCT". Rather it was an AUTHENTIC check. I told them, they, Commerce, are responsible since they cleared the check in 24 hrs. Which would normally take 3 to 10 days, and they shouldn't have gave us the cash until the money was there as they usally do to us. Commerce went against its own policy which allowed me to think it was legit. The check was drawn on another bank which automatically Commerce should have seen and investigated. I went to commerce 3x's even showed them the letter stating my concerns. I believe a class action suit should not only follow Universal Intertrade, but The bank Commerec or your bank that actually gave you CASH. So, I will consult legal counsil against U. I for fraudulent actions and Commerce for breaching their own contract...
