I received a letter in the mail, claiming that I was a winner in the 2008 Merchant International Prize Pool Draw. They said that I won $65,000, they included a check for $4,950 for me to deposit to help pay for the processing fee. I was to contact them after I deposited the check and they would give me an address to wire $3,950 (processing fee) to. They would then send my remaining winnings right away.
However, Universal Tool Inc. Is not guilty of anything! You see, they had several hundred checks stolen form them, and the guys are sending out these letters to launder the money! They can't just go deposit hundreds of stolen checks!
If you actually do send these guys the $3,950 (or whatever your letter says) you will not only loose $3,950, but since all the stolen checks have been cancelled, you will also be back charged the original $4,950 (amount of the check) by the bank since the check was no good. So you will actually be loosing $8,900!!!
I you receive this letter please contact Universal Tool Inc right away!
