Lottery Scam
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 8 votes
Company information:
TD Financial
1550 Bedford Hwy Suite 410
Canada
Phone: 1-905-598-0221

I recieved a letter and a check for $4, 920.00. The letter said that I had won a lottery in Canada and that the check was part of my winnings to pay the taxes of $3, 980.00 on the winnings of $250, 000.00. Some people might do it thinking that the worst that could happen is they are about $1, 000.00 better off. The letter instructed me to cash the check and call a phone number for further instructions. I checked the number on 411.com and found it to be a cell phone in Canada. My daughter called the number and started asking questions and the man that answered got upset and told her to just cash the check and call me back. He then hung up on her. This is terrible because I am sure that there are people that would see this check and deposit it and send the money to these theives. I plan to call the number quite often and harress the jerk that answers it. The number is 1-905-598-0221. Feel free to call them.

My father was just sent one of these checks and the same scam. They got a new number though, (647)830-9098. The bank will probably cash the check but it's certain to bounce in two or three weeks and you'll get the bank charges for that. They play on people's greed, so don't be, and use common sense.

I just called the number and the guy answered & said to call back tomorrow because "the system was down" and then I just said, "you're just a scammer" and he hung up. There were kids playing in the background. I must have called during dinner time. Everyone should call this number and bug him until he has to get it disconnected and get a new number.

I just got a check in the mail today! Yes to good to be true. Glad I checked this thing out first thanks so much!!! Mine was mailed from Canada, when I called they told me to send the money first for taxes then calll them back. I think maybe this could be a way for terriost to get money without beig traced. Anyone els thinking along these lines?

My mother just got one of those checks in the mail today, 10/25/08. She is a disabled woman on a fixed income and sure this money looks good to her. But in the end if she was to cash this check she would have to come up with the money that she had to send to these people and then legal fees. I can't there is people that will pray on people like my mother. These people should be distroyed and I am going to do what ever it takes to make sure they get what is coming to them.

The letter is from Standard Trust Sun Towers, 1550 Bedford Highway, Suite 410 Nova Scotia, B4A 1E6. The persons name on the letter is Venessa Robert (Vice President Finance) Standard Trust Financail. She was to call and ask for Carol Philips or Ron after she was to send this money through Money Gram in her local Walmart Store at 1-416-825-4602. I think we should give these people what they deserve for doing this to people. CALL THE CRAP OUT OF THEM AND REPORT THEM TO THE COPS!

My 71 year old mother got a letter from TD Financial today with a check for $3, 985 issued from a Camden National Bank in Belfast ME. Same story, she had won $75, 000 in a lottery from Canada and she had to depost the enclosed check and pay the state regulation tax before her lump sum could be mailed. They give a number in Canada to call 1-647-869-2358 and ask for Melissa King. This is CRAZY, if I didn't take care of my mothers finances she would have deposited the check and been had... Someone must put a end to this.
