Complaint Review: Atlas Financial Trust Inc.

I, too like many others recieved a letter from Atlas Financial Trust Inc. yesterday that I had been declared a winner of the North American Shoppers Sweepstakes held on March 5, 2008 in the 2nd category for the sum of $250,000 US dollars. My first thought after reading the letter and seeing the check that looked authentic was: Oh how wonderful with having a child getting ready to leave for college and the expenses we will have and thinking of the "bills" that could get paid off and other things that we would be able to do with that kind of money. I too, did some investigating on my own to check this out to see if it was for real and luckily didn't fall for it! I think that EVERYONE in the United States that recieve this kind of notification from this company should file a complaint with their Better Business Bureau and hopefully some justice will be done to those portraying themselves as a legitimate company. Also the Century Bank in Sarasota Florida does not exist!!! I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and have sent them copies of the letter I recieved along with a copy of the check and envelope so it will be on file. I truly feel for anyone who believes this letter is for real....PLEASE don't fall for this scam!!! Hopefully justice will be served and the fraudulent people who are behind this scam will get the stiffest penalty available by law.
