Complaint Review: APEX-GOLD - North American Prize Pool

This letter really had us fooled. I received a letter over the weekend Frm APEX-GOLD, Inc., informing me that this was a final notification for funds distribution for a North American Prize Pool in the amount of $49,380.00.

With the letter was an Official Check drawn on the TeleCom Credit Union located in Michigan, in the amount of $2,650.42. I had my doubts but still deposited the check.

On Monday 12/18/06, I called the Claim Line as the letter instructed and spoke with Sarah. She informed me that I was to wire $2,400.00 of the original $2,650.42 to a Robert Ball in Regina, Canada.

When I asked why this individual, she informed me that if I were to make it (Wire) to a company, it would cost me more. This is when I decided to do some research on the internet.

Internet search turned up that this was a scam. I'm not out any money, just a little disappointed that it wasn't real and how I could have ruined Christmas if I had sent the money. Beware!
