Recieved letter from atlantic lottery corp. Stating i won 262,000 us dollars also a check in the amount of 4,922.00 and said to put in our bank. Also it said to pay taxes of 2,850. Oo by western union or moneygram. Then to call a claim agent mr. James rogers at1-902-412-1769 for further clarification and instructions on claming our winnings.
I immediately reported this to the FBI and found out the scam is this... You deposit the check in your bank. You than send them the $2850.00 they request. That money is now already gone. The remaining $2072.00 in your account is also gone because the whole thing bounces... Because the bank account the check came from is closed. You are than responsible to pay your bank the missing $2850 that you spent. Once this is done, there is no possible way to get your money back.
