Received a check for $3,975. Letter stated that I was one of the winners in the Consumer Promotion Draw — had to send $3,540 in taxes - had to call an out of country number to claim prize

I received a letter in the mail frm R.B. M Financial Services, Inc. Enclosing a check for $3,975.00. I was told that I was one of the winners in a Consumer Promotion Draw Sweepstakes for all customers in the U.S.A., Canada and Britain for the 2009 quarter.

I was told that I was guaranteed a prize of $185,000.000 USD in certified check and it will be delivered to me by an accredited courier company. The money they sent was deducted from my prize money and was used to pay a tax clearance fee which is $500.00 less than what the check is for.

The letter then goes on to state that I am to pay the tax clearance fee by Western Union or MoneyGram transfer. I was not told where to send the money, only that it needed to be sent via MoneyGram or Western Union.

The letter goes on to state that I should contact my claims agent, Dan Rufus at 011-44-7924-883 for further information on how to claim my winning.

The letter goes on to say that you are not act on the letter until you have spoken with the claims agent.

The letter is signed, John A. Garfield, Promotions Director.
