My husband received in the mail a letter from Citi Trust Financial Inc. stating that a ticket with his name attached to it drew the winning numbers in a compensation draw.
It stated he was entitled to a lump sum of $250,000.00. Enclosed is a check for $4,700.00, which is deducted from the winnings for the purpose of GST, payable to the Canadian Tax Office.
The tax amount was for $2,700.00, payable by Moneygram or Western Union to the Tax Agent: Linda White, 2410 Empire Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1a 1K6, Canada.
He was advised to call the claim agent, Christy Choung, at 1-778-316-4177 to begin the claim process. Upon calling this number, he received a recording that stated the voice mail for that number was full.
The check he received was written from:
Tampa Cargo, P.O. Box 524235, Miami, FL 23152, drawn off of the
Wachovia Bank, 18601 Nw 27th Ave, Miami, FL 33056-3192.
