Award Claim Final Notification
- 06-30-2008
- 10
I received a letter claiming that I have won a total of $125,000. I was one of a total of 10 declared winners. I was given a claim number and that I was to call within 5 days to claim my prise.
Also included with the notification letter was a check totaling the sum of $4,980.00.inorder to claim my prize, I was to cash the check in my bank and call back and pay the sum of $3,980.00 from the check to cover the taxes on my total winnings. That was to be sent back to them by moneygram or western union.
Once doing so, I was told that I would then be sent the winnings by either certified check, money order or wire transfer to my local bank account at my discretion. I received the letter and check on a saturday and proceeded to contact the company. A guy answered the phone and asked if I could call back in two hours. I waited and called back and the same guy answered and asked if I could call back in one hour. I waited and called back and the same guy answered and asked if I could call back on monday because the office was closed.
I called back on monday and the same guy answered and proceeded to go through the proceedure of explaining my so called winnings.By this time, my suspicions were totally aware. I started to asked questions to him and he started to become very short with me stating that either I wanted to claim my prise or not. He stated that either I want to participate in the program or not and all I had to do was let him know and he would cancel the check.
When we hung up, I went on line to look up his company and realized that there is a fraud alert on this company. I then proceeded to contact the bank that is listed on the check. I spoke with the bank fraud department and they stated that it is a fraudulent check and that I should send them the orginal check along with the letter to them. Also, I should contact the local authorities as well as the postal service for mail fraud.
