Falcon Financial - North America Sweepstakes Lottery - Jill Samson - George Smith Mail scam suggesting that I won lottery accompanied by fake cashier's check Toronto Ontario
Although I recognized this particular letter as a scam, it was nonetheless pretty "official" looking. The letter included a cashier's check and an explanation that I had been selected as a winner in the 2007 North American Sweepstakes Lottery.
Several official looking paragraphs full of confirmation and claim numbers later, the letter warned me that this was the final notification of my winnings and I must act quickly.
I did.
I posted on Ripoff Report and filed the letter and check under "You'll have to be smarter than that."
