I also recieved a letter from Global Resource and Finance Co. Stating I won a portion of the DE-LOTTO North American Sweepstakes Lottery held on Friday, Feb 13th (how appropriate) 2009 in the 2nd category. The check inclosed was from Glogal Resource Co.inc 4365 Willow Drive Medina, MN 55340 and drawn on M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank at 505 France Av S Edina, MN 55401 (nice try Medina and Edina lol). There is no watermark on the check and so I contacted the bank 1-888-464-5463 and yes, its a fraudulent check (as I figured) and the bank is aware of the problem.
Do not try to cash or use any of the funds of this check, even thinking you will get it back once you get your big winnings..."you" are totaly responsible for the monies you spend if you do. And your bank will send the check out for collection for you but will also charge you to do so... Usually about $25.00 to $45.00... Don't bother, you will only lose your money if you do so.
The check I recieved was for $4875.00, which seems to be the norm going out and asking for $2875.00 to be sent to a tax agent to cover your taxes on the total amount of your $125,000.00 winnings.
I hope this information added to the other reports here will be of help to others so they are not ripped off in any way by this.
