Pinnacle, Jason Pride
Just another Canadian lottery scam Ripoff Canada

I received a letter telling me that I was the winner of $80,000. Enclosed was a cashier check for $3500. I did a Google search and found the FDIC website indicating many checks with this routing number were counterfeit.
Routing number: 042101190 (Beware of this routing number)

I'm not listing the full name of the company because these scam artists were misusing the name and logo of a Georgia based company. I faxed the letter to the company CEO to warn them that their name and logo was being misused.

I spoke to the rep from Fifth Third Bank indicated on the FDIC report and she confirmed that it was indeed counterfeit. The phone number on the check is 630-354-1365 (Elmhurst, IL) and does not correspond to any phone number I found on the Fifth Third Bank website. That number is a real joke. I called it just for fun and it sounds very unprofessional. I couldn't speak to a live person. My advice to everyone out there, NEVER CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE CHECK TO VERIFY THAT IT IS GOOD. Get the phone number from a reliable source.

The contact name and number in the letter was Jason Pride
at 519-694-7139. There was also another number on the letter
which was 519-694-4612. They are both based in the London Ontario area. I never spoke to anyone.
I have reported this to the Elmhurst, IL and London, ON police along with the FBI and Attorney General. I hope they get caught.

The letter originated in Canada. The address on the letter is 6521 Harold Ave, Louisville, Ontartio Canada T4B 31H.
These criminals are so stupid that it was very easy for me
to prove that the address was fake. I checked the postal code and it was for Alberta, not Ontario.

Don't fall for this scam. Nobody has ever had to pay money upfront to receive lottery winnings.
