Brewster's large cash lottery, ripoff, white rock, b.C. Canada.
Another re-routed international lottery scam running amuck prying on our U.S. Citizen's while our so called "watchdog" agencies fbi secret service bbb etc. Stand idly by with there thumbs up their better ends acting helpless.
This one is only slightly different by various degrees compared to the usual international lottery scams infecting the Nation and the innocent. But, I would'nt call it overly proffessional.
As usual this one originates from Spain but the culprits use an elaborate routing service which takes their trade thru several different countries before the target (you) are located. Here's the scoop...
Yesterday, 1/10/06 I recieved a letter in the mail which announced that I had won the BREWSTER'S LARGE CASH LOTTERY with the 2nd place payout of 500.000.00 and along with this announcment was an included check for the amount of 4,890.00.
I was the selected 2nd place winner on an Early Bird Draw on 12/29/05. I was given my own ticket# (which was the subsequent winning ticket#) and instructed to call Jim Payne (never did reach him) from the Paying Department using 1-866-418-8571.
I reached instead a thief a.K.A. Jim powers... From spain. Jim is exited for me so much that it was hard to understand his already badly clipped up usage of the english language but not to worry as he is fully capable of handling all claims in Mr. Paynes abscence.
He asked me a few simple non-intrusive questions and promptly told me that he would call me back in 30 min. As he needed that time to activate the 4,890.00 check which is to be used to cover any expenses required to submit transaction for the 500,000.00 check due to arrive Friday 1/13.
If it had'nt been for the (obvious) screen door creaking and slamming shut and the chickens and roosters cackling in the living room background I still might not have suspected foul play.
Such as it is... After 3hrs. Of waiting around for the phone to ring (did'nt) I went on about other things and decided to call him earlier this morning...
On the 5th try he answered the phone and proceeded to tell me what I needed to do. Take the 4,890.00 check to my bank, cash it, (he wished) and then go and send 4400.00 to another theif named Mary Carlson located at White Rock, B.C. Canada.
This is to be done using the Moneygram service. This process not only puts a cool 4400.00 into their pockets but also gives them full access to your bank account. Don't forget the 4,890.00 check is fake, bogus, fraudulent, etc.
On the surface I personaly rate them a 6 but the insiders (call handlers, etc.) are still amaturish and this jim powers gave his on self away but someday given enough time will turn Pro.
I saved myself alot of misery by presenting the letter & check to my banker before anything else and through that one move I found out the unmistakable truth. I sure hope others do the same!
