I received a check for $2970.00. It said to deposit it in my bank account and to send $2500.00 to Patricia Everest as a Processing fee so that my full prize of $50, 000.00 could be delivered to me. I almost went straight to the bank that minute but just happened to have my mother (police officer) look it over before i got too excited.
The check came with a letter that said to call this number 1-204-951-0462 to talk to one of their claims agent. Well, the man who answered the phone had a very heavy accent and was quite difficult to understand. I asked to speak to his superior and at this point the man got extremely mad. He began to yell so i asked to speak with someone who could understand me easier. At this point, He hung up the phone.
I went inside to do a search for the company hoping to find another phone number. Instead I found that neither the company or the address exsited. I searched the number and it turned up as a mobile phone. I'm on my way to turn the check into my local police department. This is the action that anyone who receives such letters should take.
I hope that this keeps others from falling onto such horrible scams.
