I just recieved a letter that had been sitting at my parents house for two months. It was from Clearing House North America and stated that I was the winner of the 2005 annual drawing, winning $750,000. The letter says to contact Eric North at 1-888-658-8548 or 1-647-7220-867. It also says that the internal revenue officer handling my file is Nancy Adams at 1-905-587-0230. The letter is signed by Phillip Houston, President. Enclosed is a very real looking check from First Niagara Bank for $2,900 to pay for taxes, signed by Elizabeth A. Mello #3491. There is no return address or any information about this company included.
I thought this letter was a fake, because I never entered any sweepstakes. Besides that, they had my last name and address wrong because I married and moved out of my parents house two years ago, so they must have had my information for a long time prior to this October. If this sweepstakes was for real they would have tried harder to contact me. I did try calling the numbers listed and got voice recordings saying my file was temporarily on hold, and to call customer service. Of course, there IS no number for customer service because this is not even a real company, and there is no money! I tried doing a search for this company to find their website and found this site full of reports instead. Don't be fooled. Whoever is doing this should be sued and sent to jail.
