I received an apparently negotiable check in the amount of $2755.00 check, with an explanation that it was an initial payment toward the $50,00 That I had won in a LOTTO NORTH AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY. This check was forwarded to me in advance to provide for my initial payment of the $2250 government tax on the winning amount. An address was given for a tax agent in New York City, to whom this payment was to be forwarded immediately, and the return receipt faxed to the fax number, also provided. THEN they would send the balance of the winnings. It all sounded pretty logical until I thought it through, and then checked Allen Securities out on the internet.
They have a BAD reputation for this type of scam. Beware!
