Meridian Financial, Inc
Also AT&T Family FCU I also recieved a check for $4,500 stating that I won $450000.00 and was to send $2,980.00 to cover taxes. Thankfully I work for a cpa firm and did my research before being roped in. Watch out!

I received a check for $4,500.00 stating that I had won $450,000.00 in a second lottery drawing. All I needed to do was to deposit this check and send $2,980.00 in US funds by Money Gram to an address in Canada to cover the Non Resident Government Service Taxes. They would then send me my winnings. I called them and they said the claims agent listed on my letter was on vacation. I was to call back after 3 days to find out where I was to send my tax money.

I called my sister who is a bookkeeper and she looked online with me to find that others had received the same check and letter. They were not so skeptical and actually sent the money. The $4,500.00 check bounced and they were liable for it. The company, Meridian Financial, did not exist and no winnings were ever sent.
PLEASE do not cash that check. It is a scam and I could see that someone who needed the money or was not up on their English could think this was real. I think I was targeted because I have a hispanic last name. Get the word out to all you can and report it to as many agencies you can to stop these people from defrauding others.

Thanks for listening.
