Taxes problem! Complaint Rating: They tell me I have won $33,00.00 dollars, and I need to pay the taxes. They tell me they use the "Name Data Base Ballot System" which is provided by Credit Cards, and telephone services. It describes the sponsoring company, "EH GRiffith Inc," whom I e-mailed and they stated they were not sponsors and that the said company was fraudulently using their checks/letter heads. The letter that was included also stated I had to call "Mr. Kevin Luna" at "(514) 571-2809," "he will validate the check, after that proceed to your bank and make a deposit." It is signed, "David West, Promotion Manager."

I received the letter which stated I had won $120,00.00 dollars. A check was even sent to me for $4950.00, which could be used to send the $2,900.00 tax charges. They tell me they use the "Name Data Base Ballot System" which is provided by Credit Cards, and telephone services. The letter that was included also stated I had to call "Mr. Tony Edward" at "(514) 571-2809," "he will validate the check, after that proceed to your bank and make a deposit." It is signed, "Mrs. Shanice Wilhurt, Promotion Manager."

I have a friend who works at a bank - she researched this and stated that this check would not go through because the account number on the bottom of the check does not match up with the Company who supposedly wrote the check. When my friend called this person to notify them this check was returned, he stated that he was going to a meeting and would call back to discuss this. She stated she would call him back in 1 hour, after his meeting. She called back 10 minutes later and the phone was disconnected.

Lucky for me, my friend saved me a ton of money, because I actually did sign up for a raffle drawing at Grainger (the check was in this name).

I received a check in the mail on 4/2/2007 stating I was a winner in a computer generated lottery. In order for me to get the full sum of money I had to deposit the check and wait for it to cover the service charges. I tried contacting the agent listed on the cover letter to validate everything, but i could never speck to anyone. I finally called the bank that also listed on the check to se if they could tell me if the Company that as sponsoring this lottery was legit...finally I spoke to a representative at the back and she ran the routing number at the bottom of the check and check number at the top, and stated it was real. I'm glad i didn't try and cash that check.

The fraudulent company that was on the check was ( The Star Foundation). There is a such thing as that company, but its a foundations for other reasons then a lottery. MORE LIKE TAKEN DONATIONS THEN GIVEN THEM!

I to received a check on April 12th w/a letter from the Oprah Winfrey Summer Sweepstakes, that said the EXACT same thing. My family & I investigated everything on this letter & check & it all checked out. I went and actually Western Unioned the money, when I returned home, my husband wanted me to "google" the North American Lottery Corp, that is when I found this was a scam. I called Western Union & cancelled the whole thing...

I received a letter from North American Lottery Corporation with a check for $2,900.00 enclosed. FINAL NOTICE in big red letters. I have been bouncing back their emails and ignoring their contacts. The letter instructed me to call Peter Brown at 1-877-827-3875 before depositing the check. I am told to send $2300.00 by moneygram for taxes and legal fees by March 24, 2008. The the rest of my winnings will by sent to me $950,000.00 after they receive their money. Well in the first place U S taxes would be more than $2300 on that amount of money,plus legal fees... The letter was signed by Edward Williams,CEO North American Lottery Company???

I recieved a check for 4850.00 saying that I won a lottery in the amount of 50, 000.00...The check was to cover the taxes that needed to be paid. After reading all the other comments...I know this is fake since it asked me to do the same at the above mentioned comments. I had to callDavid Jones at 647-836-6845. The letter was from Equity Financial in Ontario, Canada. The check was from NEP Supershooters L.P. Live Media LLC.

I received a letter from Equity Financial saying I won a lottery from a North American Lottery Incorporation. I think this is a scam. It also told me to call David Jones and when I call it says his mailbox is full. Then the number called me back and on the caller Id it says it was a cell phone and nobody was on the other end. I don't think I will be cashing this check!!!

I received one of these letters the other day. I googled the address and It is the same scam as I have read about on this sight. They want me to call Gary James or Edna King. THis should be reported to someone who can put a stop to it. This is nothing more than theivery and taking advantage of honest people by making them think they have won something when they haven't. There was also no postmark on the mailing envelope the letter came in...Maybe 20/20 would like to hear about this!!

My wife just recieved the letter yesterday. It said it was the North American Lottery game and the letter was from Arista Financial Group. Natuarally I was excited but with the way the world is now you can't trust anyone so I found this website and i'm glad because the companies and addresses checked out. The check even said it was from Wachovia. DON'T TRUST ANYONE!!!

My Granddaughter who lives in GA called my wife, we live in MO, and stated I had WON $4850. My wife told her it was a scam and to send the check to us. Turns out my wife was right. When I received the check and letter my wife checked the web and found this site. My check is drawn on PNC Bank, Pittsburgh on an account held by NEP SUPERSHOOTERS L.P. PITTSBURGH, PA. My letter stated is was from the North American Lottery.

I just received the same letter as Jennifer. Word for Word except, MR. JOSEPH ABUGO, is the person I was suppose to contact. They said when I called that I was entered in a drawing automatically from shopping at Walmart. I did not attempt to deposit or cash it. I knew it was a scam from the begining. So I got on the phone to see what info. I could get from this guy. Just so I could report this scam. Then GOOGLED, and found this. Never ending scam artist in this world. I think they prey more on the young and nieve as well as the elderly. But, to all, BEWARE...THIS IS A SCAM. No matter who the contact person is, bank, or anything else you may receive in a lottery winnings letter. Florida.

My teenage daughter received a letter from "North American Lottery" . This is a scam, do not answer or call the number. Do not cash the check...do not sent any money via Western Union. Taxes are definately not paid like that. The letters are mailed from Canada, harder to trace. Please protect your children.

Well I just recieved the CLEARING HOUSE letter, stating I had won $100, 000.00 from North American Lottery Inc. Enclosed was also the check for $4900.00 to pay the $4100.00 taxes on my winnings. I called David Jones as instructed...(Just like the letters above) he said deposit the check, wait for it to clear, then give him a call back to recieve instructions on how to pay the $4100 in taxes. Very polite, not pushy, gave no time limits. I called an accountant friend of mine, he researched same as I and found many similar comments...

FRAUD ! ! ! ! ! Why are these things allowed? I recieve several of these either in e-mail or the mail.

Good Luck out there.

I received the same letter and decided to investigate it. Thank God for the internet and guys like you who are willing to open the eyes of many. With the economy like it is, it was exciting and very impressive. I'm going to report it to the companies and the bank. Pam
