I was sent a letter staing that my name was drawn in the annual Consumer's Promotional Draw organized for both American and Canadian customers of the following retailers: Target, Wal-Mart, Sears, Macy's, Home Depot, Zellers etc.
It stated my name was drawn out of a computer database with my attached seriel number. (I did enter Wal-marts survey from a receipt, but the winnings were not to be that much). It stated I won a preliminary prize of $250,000 payable in means of certified check and delivered by a courier company. Enclosed was a (Fake) checkfor $ 4975.50 that actually rubbed off on the letter it came folded up in. The check is supposed to help aide me with Non-Canadian residential tax, insurance and delivery charges.in order for me to claim my winnings, I am to contact my assigned claim agent David Washington: (708)-320-3577
I am not inpressed and thought it to be a scam to begin as my own daughter was sent a letter and tried to cash it and the idiot called the police rather than telling her she had been scamed. She was arrested and the only thing she did was beleave it to be true and was deperate, without a job and needed money for her bills. They eventually dropped the charges after I raised the roof and had them check out the scammers rather than just put the blame on her. They had her on a $35,000 bond three days before her release. I convinced the owner of the check cashing place to drop the charges. No money was exchanged.
Its scams like this that hurt people and in this economy, we need to get the word out and help one another from being duped like this.
