I received a check in the mail January 16, 2009 in the amount of $2950.00 with letter informing me that I have won the lottery prize in the first category of 85, 000.00-Dollars, in the international promotions/prize sweepstakes lottery program, which was held on December 26, 2008. My name was attached to ticket 0098444 with the serial number ZH3006622 and drew the lucky numbers and consequently won the lotter prize. ( I HAVE NEVER ENTERED MY NAME ON ANY TYPE OF LOTTERY TICKET)
The letter states, they have tried to contact me by phone but unfortunately they were unable to reach me. ( MY PHONE NUMBER IS UNLISTED AND I WOULD NEVER GIVE IT TO SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW) In the letter it's states, in order to claim my prize there are fees of a calculated amount of $2950.00 and before cashing the check, I have to call to confirm that I have received the letter with the enclosed check. An amount representing 10% will be deducted from my cash prize to repay the fees. REF: NG-QA-77388
The drawing was held in Los Vegas, Nevada (NEVER BEEN THERE) also, I'm to call representative Ms Cindy Kleeman at 1-450-369-1600 Director of Operations. I have decided to take the check to my bank (NOT TO CASH) an have them check it out for me. I'm very aware of what they are trying to pull, FRAUD/SCAM. Please help me with this issue, Thank You.
