Complaint Review: City Wide Standard Inc.

I received a letter in the mail from City Wide Standard Inc. International claims department 102 Kings St, Toronto Ont Canada M5L 3G2. It claimed I was the winner of De lotto North American sweepstake lottery held on June 13, 2008. They claimed they were trying to contact me and were unsuccessful. I had won 125,000 us dollars in bold print.

City Standard wants you to deposit the check that was with the letter in the amount of 4,875.00. Then they want you to send a money gram or western union in the amount of 2,875 to the 'tax agent' but to not cash the check until you called them. I knew it must be a scam; the Univest National Bank listed on the check is a real bank out of Plumsteadville Pennsylvania. They cautioned that the check was not legitimate and that one of their accounts had been compromised.
