Consumer's Reward Program - Gordon Financial Services Fraudulent Activities - Letter claims I won 38,000 in Lotto Money and a check from Gordon FInancial Services, created under Wells Fargo of San Francisco was sent to me in the amount of $3,950.00 to deposit into my bank account. I have a friend who is a police officer and had him to investigate the check, which proved to be fraudelent. Ontario
The letter says,
"Congratulations, we wish to notify you of the release of the Consumer's Reward Program Lottery held on May 16, 2008. Your name, attached to ticket number 8907433 drew the lucky number of 2, 5, 11, 16, 26, and 42 which ultimately WON the lottery in the second category." The company claimed I won $38,000 and sent a bogus check from Wells Fargo in the amount of $3,950. I was asked to call Mike Vincent or Karen Gibson at 1-905-598-6409 after depositing the check into my bank account to pay "applicable tax."
The signature on the letter is "Bien Epoirto" who is claimingly the director and it gives the address under "Gordon FInancial Services" at 8123 Ruth Palace AVE, Niagara Falls, ON L2E 2W8.
This is bogus and scam and consumers should pay close attention!
If you have any questions, or have received the same letter please contact me as after I am done filing this report, this letter will be handed over to the FBI and my local police department for further investigation.

These scammers are in a foreign country, out of reach of US law enforcement. Hundreds of thousands of these letters have been mailed to US citizens, using different bank names, different company names, different sweepstakes names, etc. They are preying upon stupid Americans who's greed is greater than their intelligence. They know they can't be caught or prosecuted. Don't waste YOUR time with this.
