On approximately August 1 I received a letter stating I had won $85,500.00 from the British Random Lotto. Enclosed was a check issued from Wells Fargo Bank in CA for $2,998.15 written on July 18. The letter told me to activate the check by calling a Canadian phone number and requested I remit $2,846.00 to their North American Agent, Richard Davis (a difference of $152.15.
The letter stated that my total winnings would be $85,500.00 with $5301.00 excluded (6.2% Sponsor's Commission). The letter stated that invariably I would receive $80,199.00 and the agent would give me further details. I had until August 10 as a deadline to claim the prize money.
As in a previous complaint on this same company, everything appeared to be legitimate. I decided to call Wells Fargo Bank and see if I could verify the account. Wells Fargo's CSR said he could let me know if the account was open, but couldn't verify funds. What he did tell me was that the account was reported as lost or stolen. Therefore the account the check was written from was not good.
