Received a check for $3,650.00 drawn on Fifth Third Bank, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. Was the payor on the check. The check was accompanied with a letter from "The National Lottery" informing me I won $145,000 in a lottery held in the UK because I went shopping at selected stores in North America - they listed many popular chains which everyone has shopped at. The letter is from Jasmine Stephens (Promotional Director). They tell you the enclosed check is drawn from your winnings (they spelled this wrong as "wining") so you can send them $1,920 via a Western Union money transfer for taxes due. They claim they will send the remaining winnings via FedEx after the "taxes" are paid. You are supposed to contact the claim agent, Andrew Owen to be begin your claim. They created fraudulent checks using Subaru of IN account number and ABA #. Even if the check goes through (not likely-SIA is probably all over this) SIA would come back after you for the money since you are not entitled to it. Total scam.
