Metropolitan Clearinghouse
Ripoff scam to extort money from regular people like us

Shops, Products, Services

I recieved a letter from this company saying I was a winner in a lottery. They sent me a check to supposably cover assessed taxes for our winnings. I deposited this check into our savings account. The next day I called our bank to have them find out if the check was good. The bank manager said not to withdraw the money until the check had a chance to clear. I called this company back to find out what else i needed to do, we were supposed to get the money out of the bank, go to Western Union, get a money order for that amount then send it to someone in Canada.

Then once they recieved the money they would send us a check for the remaining amount. Good thing I contacted my bank because the check ended up being counterfeit. We would have had to pay the bank back $2700.00. Be very careful when receiving stuff like this, check with your bank, the BBB or local authroities before you cash checks or withdraw money that you may not have!
