Sent check for $3985 to pay taxes of $2985 for $250,000 winnings

I received a letter from Global Trust and Finance Inc dated Sept. 6. Enclosed was a check from Boyett Group, Inc for $3985.00 issued from Bank of the West, Walnut Creek, CA on 8-30. The envelope had no return address and my address was a peel and stick label.

I used the address imprinted on the check for the Boyett Group as the address in this report. The letter stated that I was a Second Category Winner of the Super Seven Contest held on the 29th of May entitling me to a lump sum winning of $250,000 to be sent once taxes were paid. The letter further stated that the enclosed check for $3985.00 was deducted from my winnings and I would use a portion of that check to pay the taxes. It went on to state that the tax amount of $2985.00 should be paid using a Moneygram found at every Walmart store. The assigned claim agent was Renee Walsh to be contacted at 1-450-330-1683 as soon as I received the letter. The letter was signed by Michael Larrington, President.

First of all, I enter sweepstakes and contests all the time. Any win over $200 has always been handled with a notification letter first with enclosed forms to be notarized and returned. Any cash winnings have always had the taxes deducted from the winnings prior to issuing any money! Never have I been asked to pay up front from a legitimate sweepstake or contest! Secondly, all legitimate companies associated with legitimate sweeps and contests are proud to put their return address on the letter as well as use legitimate letterhead with a physical address and contact information printed right on it.

This letter had neither! Thirdly, I did a reverse phone lookup for the number and it is an unlisted Canadian number.
