Today I recieved a letter from Victoria Canada.inside was a letter telling me that I was a winner in the second category promo drawing held August 1st. The letter was from a company called Guarantee Trust Financial. A claim # NBV-081-4822-RF then they gave me a claim serial # 389544, and said my total winnings were US$385,000.00 (three hundred eighty five thousand) dollars, payable by cashier check, money order or certified check.
As I read on it stated that this was a Canadian drawing and so they enclosed a check for US$4,825.00 (four thousand eight hundred twenty five) dollars. It explained that the check was the first part of my winnings and that check was sent to pay the Non Resident Government Service (GST), taxes of canada; where drawing was held. The taxes had to be payed before I could "legally" collect my prize money.
The Tax amount was US$4550.00 (four thousand five hundred fifty) dollars. I could western union, money gram to their "Tax Agent's" address, because he would be closer to me in Westport, CT.
At the end it stated I must contact my Assigned claims Agent, A Mr. David Harley at their toll free # 1 (866) 496-4819 EXT111. THen the Promotins Managers signiture, A Mr. Edward Wayne and a bar code.
Being a smart girl I thought it was fishy so I called. The number was legit with several extentions, so I googled the business. A few similar named companies but not with address match came back, so I yellow paged the addresses, No results again. Then I looked at the name of the business on the check Michigan CAT, of Nova, Michigan. That company was liget. The bank JP Morgan Chase of Detroit, Michigan. SO I kept searching and found this site and a similar story so I decided to post mine to help thje cause!
