I recieved this letter in the mail informing me that I was a lucky winner of an unclaimed price money in the amount of 57,000 and that I was selected through a computerized ballot system. Enclosed was a check for 3,984.30 which covers the adminstrative, taxes and clearance feels of my winnings. All I needed to do was contact Nadia Chambers at 514-815-7621 before July 4.
I contacted this women and she said that on Monday an agent would be calling me to tell me of my winnings I talked to her on Friday. She said to get to a bank soon and deposit this check then go to a Walmart and inside Walmart there is a money gram section. She said take the money only cash or debit card and send it to some address in Newton, MA that she gave me. I asked her if I could bring the money to this address as it was close to me and a money gram would cost extra to send. She said to hold the line and she put be on hold for over 5 minutes then the phone went dead. I kept calling back and it said the mailbox was full. When I called her later in the day I asked her why she hung up on me and she said the phone got disconnected. Yeah right! I told her there was no such address that she gave me in Newton, MA because I looked it up and there is no street called Main Street in that town. When I kept pressuring her about this address she said the money was supposed to be sent to her. I'm only wondering how this money would have got to her or anyone if there was no such address. Maybe it gets forwarded to a PO Box # somewhere when sent to that address?
Well even my husband started to believe this and he never believes any of these letters that come in the mail. He even thought the check looked so real. I decided to go to the bank that was written on the check and not my own bank. That way if there were funds in this account then it would cash and if there weren't any funds then it wouldn't cash and I wouldn't get screwed out of money in my account. The bank on this check was Bank of America and I have plenty of them near me so I went to one around the corner and cashed this check and they gave me 3,984.30 in cash. I started thinking something is weird here because if I am getting money from United Financial then why am I supposed to send it back to them? Or who ever?
I got home and started looking up scams under this companys name and that is how i found out about lot's of others that are having the same problem with United Financial and some even got their money taken from them. I read how some went to the bank and the teller immediately said it was a counterfeit check. I started thinking why did mine cash? It didn't make sense. So I called the bank and told them I had reason to believe that this check might not have been good and a girl looked it up and she said no this company has lots of money in their account and there's no problem with the check. She said they have machines that can tell right away if the check isn't good and this check is fine. I left thinking oh well maybe I did win something then two days later I got a call from this girl at the bank saying she looked further into this check and called fraud department and they had the check and they said the check was counterfeit. I immediately asked her why they couldn't detect this when I cashed the check. She said sometimes the checks are duplicated to look so real that the machine can't tell either. She also found out that these scam artists are making checks to look real and using real account numbers on them so that is why the check cashed because it was a real account "A division of United Health Care Corp" is where the money came from in MN and eventually these people would start noticing money being taken from their account. I'm still puzzled by this whole thing at how easy something like this can be and I only can say I'm glad I didn't put this check in my account only to find out it would have bounced and I would have lost my own money to these SCAM JERKS whether I sent it to them or not! I kept the money safe in my checking account and will return it to Bank Of America tomorrow morning.
I have a feeling this Nadia Chambers runs under lots of other names that appear on these letters. I think these people are working off cell phones and they keep changing phone numbers so they won't get caught.
After I read these letters on the internet about this company I called Nadia Chambers and told her I was one of the lucky ones not losing my money to her and all her scaming friends in Canada or wherever she is located. I also told her our econmy isn't doing very good as it is we don't need people like her causing it to be worse! She said that's how I make my money and she HUNG up the phone..
