James Micheal, President Bogus Lottery

Education & Science

My husband received a "Final Notice" letter from Gateway Financial Servies, Inc. Stating that he was one of the third catagory winners of the Mega Million Draw held on November 19.

The letter also stated that he was entitled to the sum of $280,000.00 payable by bank draft or certified check.

They enclosed a check for $3,800.00 which they claim was deducted from his $280,000.00 to pay for the "Tax Clearance Fee" which is to be paid by Moneygram or Western Union.

The check is from a company called International Exploration Company, LLC in Metarie, LA and the bank listed on the check is Capital One Bank in New Orleans, LA.

The letter states that his Claims Agent is John Bosco.

There is also a note at the bottom of the letter that states:

"Please do not act on this notice until you speak to your claims agent and You should keep your winning informations secret untill your claim is processed and your money released to you".

(I typed that exactly as they have it written in the letter with the mistakes and all.)

The signature of the "President" is completely illegible but it is obvious that it doesn't say James Micheal.
