Consumer's Reward Program, Tristar Financials Claims I drew the lucky numbers in a consumers reward program lottery Toronto Ontario
I received a check in the mail today for 3,820 $. There was also a letter that came with this check stating I had drew the lucky numbers in the Consumer's Reward Program Lottery. Lucky numbers were 3, 11, 14, 20, 25, 26, and 37.
I was very skeptical of this not only because when I called the number it said there was no more room to leave a message, but also in the letter it stated to keep this award from public notice until my claim was finalized.
So I did a little research on the net and looked up Tristar Financials. It lead me to the rip of web site and on there was a testimony from another women in Pennsylvania who had the same exact winning numbers as was said I had.
Thankfully I have the internet and was able to do some research on this scam, because for a minute when I looked at the check it looks very real and authentic, and at this time in my life I could use that 3,820 $. I have two children that I am trying to raise and there father is over seas, so money is tight. If I had not have found the rip off web site money would have been even tighter and I'm not sure what I would have done!

And you a ticket for this lottery WHERE ?? WHEN ?? You KNOW you must first purchase a lottery ticket in order to win ! Geeezzzzz. That should have been your first tip off that this was a scam. AND - should you actually win the lottery, do they MAIL the check to you ?????? Of course not ! You have to go pick up your winnings, don't you ????? When is the last time you gave your name, address, phone number, e-mail address when you purchased a lottery ticket ??????
NEVER, that's when. WISE UP ! You should have known all of this immediately, without having to look it up. And WHAT would have happened if you had deposited that bogus check and sent the portion of money back to the scammers ?? Most likely you would have wound up in prison for bank fraud. NO ONE sends unsolicited money in the mail ! NO ONE !!!!!!! Remember - a fool and his money are soon parted. At least you did well by coming to ROR and doing a little research. Keep up this habit, and you'll fall for far fewer scams.
