CITI FINANCIAL, a Financial Express Company, Mercury Insurance Group Tried to get me to deposit $3,650.00 check & wire to the U.K. $980.00 tax fee. Supposedly won $50,000.00! Clearwater Florida
Tried to get me to deposit $3,650.00 check (part of $50,000.00 supposedly won in "Consumer Promotion Draw" and then pay them a "Tax Clearance Fee" for non-residents because the drawing was held in the United Kingdom. Then I was supposed to use Western Union or Money Gram to send them a tax amount of $980.00! I called the phone number, but neither named person, Mr. Marvin Anderson or Ms. Malie Frank were there. Person I was talking to sounded Indian or mid-eastern and told me to deposit check (which I didn't & still have) and call back after depositing check. The number is no longer available and I knew it was a scam from the start. What should I do with letter & check? Certainly will not deposit it!
