I received in my box a 'Royal Mail' stamped envelope. For 1.10 Pounds (British). Also Post by 04.11.11.
I received it about Dec 19 or so.
Crown Financial Services out of Canado saying i am one of the winners in the 'uk & north america consumer reward promotion draw' for all customers of walmart, sears, homedepot, safeway, asda, for the 1st quarter of 2011. (well that just about incledes everyone. I think over 90% of people must have bought something from wmt, sears or homedepot in a 3 month period (any period!).
Then says i am entitled to guaranteed sum of $50k (check) delieverd by fed ex or ups.
They enclose a check of $3250 as part of the payment prize. They say this amt will enable me to offset the statutory rape, I mean stattory Non British Resident tax payment of $1950. — The tax is payable to my assigned British tax officer, by % WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER%. (key red flag of scam).
They advise me to contact my claims rep, mr. Kevin smith or martha nichols on tel 866 882 0111 (i call this and it says not taking calls as this time (and i did call between the designated hrs of 8 to 1730 EST M-Sa.
