Today i recieved a letter in the mail from cusumers reward program claiming i had won a lottery of $39,000 and along with this letter a cashiers check made out to me for $3,900 which they claim is to cover applicable taxes.
This letter looks pretty convincing with a ref: #129302 Cunsumers Lottery. Hanfield Financial Group with the NY, NY address and claim number along with "my" lucky numbers.
The check for $3,900 looks very real, with water marks on the back "Docugard" and all the numbers and printing's look very real. I thought is was at first.
The letter states i am to call Charlie Kyrsky or Nicole Stevens at 1-905-781-0587 as soon as i recieve the letter and they will assist me in finalizing my claim.
Well i am sure the only thing they will assist me in is robbing my bank account.
After reading the letter carefully it occurred to me this was impossible.
Think about this: "If" I put this check into my account My bank would submit the check and even allow me to have immediate access to some of the funds if i wanted, while they are verifying the check.
In the meantime i contact these heartless jerks and they proceed to convince me they need my bank account number to enable them to deposit my winnings and or withdrawl the applicable taxes needed to finalize my claim.
I then go to check my account after a few days only to find that indeed they managed to withdrawl the $3,900 but no deposit/tranfer to my account was ever made.
My guess is that not only did these people withdrawl money but they even used another company name and in no way is it possible for me to put a stop to it.
Then i would be $3,900 in overdraft or worse and owe my bank all this money. For what? A scam artist!
I'm telling you Be Carefull with your bank account number. I personally, have had problems after sharing my account information. Although not quite this extreme, still enough to scare me from buying into any bullsh%$ stories that require my banking information.
I believe if you honestly won a large amount of money, the goverment will surely see to it they get their taxes without having your bank account information.
This is a real tease to someone living on a very small income especially with Christmas coming up and all and wanting to buy your loved ones all they want or in some cases such as mine it would even be nice to just have extra money just to have a nice dinner with my kids if nothing more.
Just stick with God and everything you may need will come to you. Don't feel so desparate that you think it's worth taking a chance on this scam.
