I received a check from financial express. Winning $9, 968.00. A check sent in the amount of $996.80 from Arvest Bank P.O.Box 799 Lowell, Ar 72745. This letter date is Dec. 1, 2010 the check date Dec 3, 2010. Roy Smith is the claims agent [protected]. The tax amount required $920.00. Letter signed by J.J. sparks Vice President Finance. The check signature hard to read. The claim number is DMT 12-02-98. I was sure this was a scam it had to many addresses. I decided to google the letter head and the bank the check was drawn on. When I googled North America Consumer Promotion Draw, I saw many complaints on this scam. Several years ago someone I know personally was a victim of such scams. She was financially ruined thinking this was a legitimate transaction. Anyone getting suspicious mail check it out google all of it.Report to the police. This could warn others to beware.
I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS REAL OR NOT. CAN YOU TELL ME THAT?
I received a letter saying that I won the North AMerican Consumer Promotion Draw for Home Deopt, Sears, Walmart and Safeway. I didn't enter a contest for any of these stores. I'm wondering if it's real or not. As well as having told me I won $50, 000.00 it also enclosed a check for$3790.00 for taxes. The post mark is from canada and the name of the company is Jackpot Link & Associates with it's address in Niagra Falls.
At the bottom of the letter it says to beware of scam artists and who request money. I'm concerned about identity theft or something along those lines.
Is this real or is this a scam?
Thanks!

I Recieved The Same Letter As Well Claiming I Won The NORTH AMERICAN CONSUMER PROMOTIONG DRAW; Home Deopt, Sears, Walmart Safeway etc. The Check Was a Legitimate Check But If You Honestly Pay Close Attention Seems More Of a Payrole Check Than Any Other. The Letter Had 1 Address Different From The Envelope Number Didn't Match The Address The Number Is From Ontario Canada. Check Itself Was From a Different Location:
Check Address:
GIBBS ALUMINUM FEDERAL
CREDIT UNION
369 Community Drive
Henderson, Kentucky 42420
I Did My Research Before I Fell Victim To Scam Or Identity Theft, None Of The Stores Or Banks Had Affliation w| Anything Of The Sort. So I Hope You Guys Read This In Time As Well This Is a Sham|Scam Of The Biggest Of All Time. They Will Ask You To Cash The Check Then Western Union It To Someone In Ontario Canada.
If We Won a "Promotion" & Pay Taxes, Why Must It Be Paid To Canada?
Canada Is Outside Of The Jurisdiction Causing Us To Take Complete Fault To a Scam In Progress. IRS Or The Bank Will Place Us In Debt To Collect The Money For The Check Cashed. I Suggest Rip It Up & Bid Good Riddance.
