RECEIVED ALMOST THE SAME LETTER, IT SAID I HAD WON THE DRAWING FOR $50, 000 AND A CHECK ENCLOSED FOR $2500. DO NOT CASH UNTIL YOU TALK TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE MR. RICHARD SMITH OR MRS. JOY LEE. CALLED THE 866 NUMBER, IT IS NOTD A WORKING NUMBER. CHECKED THE ROUTDING NO. IT WAS JP MORGAN CHASE IN TAMPA FLA. THE ACCT NO. WAS AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT. HERE IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU FALL FOR THIS, YOU CAN DEPOSIT THE CHECK, WIRE THEM THEIR "TAX" MONEY AND THE CHECK WILL BOUNCE PROBABLY UNOUTHORIZED SIGNATURE OR WHAT EVER AND YOU ARE STUCK. "DO NOT FALL FOR THIS, GET IT TO THE BANK AND LET THEM TURN IT OVER TO THEIR FRAUD DEPARTMENT. THE MOST DISAPPOINTING PART WAS I CALLED THE LOCAL FBI OFFICE, THEY BLEW ME OFF, SAID THEY GET SEVERAL CALLS EVERYDAY. THEY DONT CARE!

JUST RECEIVED THIS KIND OF LETTER TODAY. I KNEW IT FROM THE START THAT ITS A SCAM. WHY?
1ST- I KNOW THAT I NEVER EVER ENTERED OR JOINED ANY LOTTERY OR WHATEVER THEIR GAMES ARE.
2ND- WHY WOULD THEY WANT YOU TO PAY AN AMOUNT FIRST BEFORE THEY GIVE THE MONEY?
3RD- $50, 000?! ..AND THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU WON A MILLION THROUGH MAIL?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THANKS FOR THIS SITE THOUGH...

Ame letter cam to me. first thought was scam and then I called the number and in the back ground sounded like a small office of people in a call center. I started looking up some of the info on the letter. it to had a law ferm on it that matched the header of the letter but the name signed at the bottom didnt come up on their company cite. I looked up the payee for the suppossed tax and the name and address dont exist. scam for sure. I think the scam is for you to send money to them or for them to take money from your checking thorugh the check you deposite into your acount. either way its a scam report it to your bank so they know what to look for. thanks you guys for speaking up.

Received much the same, with different amount on check ($2, 500), different tax amount ($1, 900), different originator (Pacific Finance, Portland OR), different bank (Skagit State, Burlington WA), but the same basic scam. (When I did a Google, this scam-detector site was the first that showed up. Gee!)

Have been associated with Anti-Fraud International, and I received a letter in the exact same format, only the names were changed. Of course they want you to contact their "contact" BEFORE you do anything with their official check (there is a highly undiscernable "watermark" to begin with [RED FLAG]). I assume this is the ruse where you deposit the "check" and then sign, seal and start writing checks AGAINST this one, and when their check never clears, guess who covers the checks you already wrote?

i got a check yesterday and was going to take my wife out for her birthday, went to the bank to deposit and draw the $500.00 to pay the taxes and decided to call Mr. David Miles. I told him I was going to get a check to pay the taxes and he insisted that I must get cash or deposit into my checking account to pay the taxes and go to Wal Mart or CVS and and tell them I want to pay a bill, I ask why not tell them to pay taxes, he said that would be the same. Then he said the Tax Code was 7593 for the money gram and send it to Pay Power acct number, (OK MR STUPID) CARD NUMBER [protected], I said wait a minute, that's a card # and he said no, no that's what came up on his screen. I'm so hurt about this mess, The check is on hold in my account and I'm going to call the bank to stop any action on the check, because they put in on hold until tomorrow, then I could get the funds. NOT ME, I don't have it to pay back. OH, what got me is he said they sent me 10% of the prize and left me with the rest. He didn't want all of it just the 500 in cash. When I argued, he said if I didn't want to send in the tax for the winnings he would be asking again. The check was from THIRD BANK, and Norther Trust which Northern Trust is a legit Trillion Dollar Company but I could find THRID BANK no where. Lord, he almost got me. Fellow Americans we got to look out because no one is looking out for us. I was getting stuff over a government enterprise email sit. Go Figure

They are still at it. Received a letter and check of 990.00 from Global Network INC, 1796 300th Ave. Santa Cruz, CA 95065 informing I had won 9, 990.00 of a drawing in the North America Consumer Promotion Draw. But of course it comes with a tax fee required of $500.00. Any time something requires money to be sent to them to receive any kind of a prize you know it is a scam. But I just wanted to warn others and expose them as much as possible. It wasn't all bad however, because I needed the paper to start my wood in the fire place.

There are so many scams out there now days, a legimate contest or sweepstakes doesn't stand a chance anymore.

I received a letter today with a check for $3, 315.50, in which this amount "enable you to offset the statutory Non British Resident tax payment of $1, 950." My claims representative is Mr. Richard Smith or Mrs. Ella Lee. Telephone [protected] or [protected] between 8am-530pm. Down below it says my tax officer is Mrs. Favour Howells 332 Mare Street, E8 1HY London UK. I googled this address and it is a business called Diamond Nail Spa. The envelope is post marked from Cardiff UK which is 160 miles away. The check is from a company called Plastipak in Plymouth Michigan written on a bank in Troy Michigan.

I received a similar letter stating I had won $50K. Enclosed was a check drawn on a Citibank account for $3, 260, to offset "non-British citizen taxes." Curiosity got the better of me, so I called the "office" number to hear the scammer's voice. When he answered he said "Hello." I responded, "Hi, I received a letter from you, and it looks like a scam. What kind of scam are you running?" He became indignant and stated, "How dare you speak to a business man in this way!" Then he hung up. I immediately called again, but nobody answered. At least it was entertaining.

Hubby received a check for $3, 987 with instructions to call Kim Nino. Interesting that the letter says "attached is a check of US $3899." Supposed to pay $2, 999.82 through Western Union or Moneygram. Also, we have been awarded "the sum of $71, 000.00 (FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS). They can't even make their numbers match on the silly letter!
