I received a check for the amount of 4, 995.00 the sole purpose of the check is for the payment of applicable Government Taxes on my big winnings of 250, 000.00 us dollars. The tax amount is 2, 995.00 I am to send them by moneygram or western union. when the winning is processed, I will receive my final check in the amount of 245.007.00 this amount will be delivered by FedEx. When I called the bank about this check they told me not to cash it because it is a fraud. They are working on trying to get it stopped

I received a check for the sum of $4, 996.00 in a letter from a company called Tectran Mfg. Inc. located in Downsview, Onterio. It gave claim numbers and instructed me to call a Nicole Anderson whom I assumed to be the claim agent before I cashed the check. She instructed me to deposit the check into my bank account and withdraw the sum of $2, 997.00 and send it to a Grant Cooper in Ottawua, Canada. She said that when he received the Moneygram or Western Union payment that I would receive a final check in the amount of $120, 00.00 US dollars to be delivered by FedEx. All the information on the check such as bank and company details checked out with what I found online. At first glance, it looks legitimate but I was unable to get first hand info from the bank.
