Veridian Group Inc. Veridian Group Inc., Division of Citi Financial Services CHECK SCAM for $4500 USING CITI FINANCIAL. Lists office addresses in Canada and Massachusetts! Nova Scotia

I received a phony check for $4500.00 in the mail from Veridian Group Inc, which claims to be a division of Citi Financial Services. It stated that that I had won $450,000.00 in the 2nd category of Sweepstakes and Lottery Draw held on Dec 1.

The letter states that the "purpose of this check is to assist you to pay for the Non-Resident Government Service Tax (GST)" Taxes must be paid in full before winnings can be legally released. Then you are advised to call your assigned agent, Brian Smith at 1-905-995-6776 EXT. 201", Monday to Friday (9am to 9pm EST) for further instructions on how to claim your winnings.

This letter also lists the tax agent as Tori Harris of 1898 Yonge St, Halifax, novia Scotia, V4P 2R4 (Canada). Requested payment method is Money Gram.

Letter also stated 'please do not act on this notice until you speak to your agent'. This letter was signed by Tim Phillips (Promotional Manager).

I also googled the Veridian Group Inc, and found a report already filed but with slightly different information, such as the ext to call and the claim agent's name.

Thanks, Toni!!
