Complaint Review: CLEARING & FORWARDING CENTER MR KEVIN ADAMS

Got a letter that was dated on September 17, 2008 from Julia Clark promotion manager from Clearing & Forwarding Center on 510 Bay Streetin Toronto, Ontario Canada. The letter stated that this is the official release of the 2008 North American Sweepstakes Lottery held on July 25th 2008 in the 2nd category. A ticket with serial numbers FC/A-01984688599 attached to to my name drew the lucky winning numbers 8-36-12-20-18-26-22.

Also said that I was one of ten people to win 1.25 million USD that was shared and presented. Enclosed was a check for $4,980.00 which was deducted from my winnings. It stated that $3,980.00 of the check was to be paid by me by either Moneygram or Western Union for taxes and to contact Kevin Adams before I cash the check. I called Kevin Adams and he told me to call him back after I deposited the check .

I deposited the check into my savings . The bank informed me that they have to put a hold on the check because the bank that they check came from couldn't be verfiy. The check was sent back and the return fee was charged to my account. The check looked so real. I am so upset, some of that money was going to my landlord to stop me and my grandchildren from being evicted.
