I received an envelope in the mail from World Wide Lottery Inc. telling me that I was one of the third category winners. They told me I won a lump sum award of $65, 000.00. They sent me a check fromAmerican Contractors Indemnity Co.in the amount of $2999.50 and asked me to "kindly deposit or cash the check to pay for my tax and clearance fees". They said that my "agent", Peter Anderson would elaborate more on that.
My letter was mailed from Canada, yet the bank that the check supposedly came from is in Ohio, and my so called "agent" is from United Financial Management Group a subsidiary of Switzerland Trust Corporation in London England.
I didn't cash the check because I thought the IRS took the tax money and I also thought it very weird that My check from American Contractors Indemnity Co. is in los Angeles, yet it was mailed to me from Canada with no return address!!!
I am writing this because I don't want to see anybody else get scammed. If I would have cashed that check, I would owe mybank that money. If anyone else out there receives these letters with a check For God's sake don't cash it. I'm sick of these scumbags walking away with people's hard earned money!!
I am in the process of reporting this fraudulent check to the bank it was drawn from. The check looks real, but I'm sure when I contact this bank It'll turn out to be fake!!!
I hope I helped someone from making a huge mistake.
