I too received a very realistic looking check for $3477.57. When I called the telephone number on the letter the man told me to cash the check and western union $2600. Oo to a man named James Lee in BC Canada then to call him back. As soon as the Western Union was verified that they would release the remainder of the winnings in the sum of $194,780.00 USD within 48 hours.
I did alot of research: First I called the telephone number for the bank the check was written on. The person who answered the phone sounded very much like the person that told me to cash the check and send money western union. But he indeed verified that the check was valid and could be cashed. But when I looked up US Bank none of their phone numbers matched the one I called.
It was however, too late to speak to someone at one of those numbers but u can bet I will call them on monday. I tried to cash the check and was told that it was counterfiet. Also the company Mark Anthony Brands Inc. Who by the way, makes "Mikes Hard Lemonade" and has nothing whatsoever to do with "Online Gambling.com Payment Verification Center, also is not located at the address listed.
Out of curiosity I googled the name James Lee in BC Canada and found that the person is real and is some kind of math genious. Go Figure. The man at the check casher place told me that he has seen many of these checks recently. I ask him what can be done to stop the idiots that have this elaborate scheme going. He said nothing!
I say consumer complaints.com and anyone else I can get to listen These people need to be stopped. There was a deadline on the Letter of November 10. I would say if a person wanted to get them It probably needs to be done by then.
