Affiliated Insurance Sweepstakes Rip Off Toronto Ontario
I received a letter in the mail in a plain envelope with no return address. The letter stated that I had been declared a winner in the DE- LOTTO AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY held on November 28th, 2008 in the 2nd category. I was entitled to $225,000 in U.S. dollars. A check that looked quite real was enclosed in the amount of $4,750. It was from Fidelity Investments and the bank was SunTrust Bank. Supposedly, this was for Government taxes. I was to call a number to speak to Raymond Cushe, Disbursement Manager to activate the check and get information on the tax payment I would have to make in the amount of $3200 once I deposited the check. I called SunTrust and Fidelity Investments. Of course, they had not heard of any such sweepstakes and the check is fraudulent.
