An award letter was sent to my nephew (with an attached check for $4,995.00) claiming that a lump sum payment of $200,000.00 was to be made to him as one (1) of 39 winners of a North American Prize Pool sweepstakes.
In order to get the award monies, this $4,995.00 check had to be deposited in my nephew's bank.
Funds amounting to $3,950.00 were to be sent as payment for a Canadian Non-resident tax fee before the balance of the award monies would be sent out to him.
Mr. Cocu claims that monies in the amount of $195,045.00 are deposited in an unnamed financial institution to be dispersed after the $3,950.00 fee was secured.
When contacted Mr. Cocu assured that the check is legitimate, but I have my doubts.
If reputable banking institutions can prove this to be a legitimate sweepstakes prize, thwn and only then will we act on this claim.
Not to let my nephew be swindled
