Complaint Review: American Direct Sweepstakes International Claims & Loan Department - Pratt & Whitney Canada

i received a letter congratulating me on winning a second prize sweepstakes of $500,000. i also received a real check in the amount of $2985.00. the letter stated before i cashed the check to call a number to confirm receipt of the letter.

i was told that the $2985.00 was for the insurance on the $500,000 and i would have to wait 3 to 5 days to have the check cleared. american direct would deduct 5% to repay the loan. i called the number and talked to someone named monica and she told me that two men would bring the balance of the money to my house which be $475,000. i also called the bank which the check is drawn on and they said that american direct took a loan out for the $2985.00 because they found out i supposedly won $500,000.
