Fast Forwarding Securities Inc. International Claims Department received a check for $4998 as payment of applicable Government taxes on my big win Midland Ontario
On February 17, 2009 I received a check in the amount of $4998 as payment on applicable government taxes for my big win of $250,000 for the SHOPPERS SWEEPSTAKES. The check arrived inside a letter titled "Winning Final Notification". The letter, as well as the check, looks very legitimate. I immediately searched the company online, which took me to the Ripoff website. I then searched the bank the check was drawn on, Boston Private Bank & Trust and called them. The lady informed me the account was fraudulent and the whole thing was a big scam. The letter and check came in an envelope addressed to me with a computerized lable with no return address on the envelope. The postmark on the envelope was from Canada. It's very sad that people are so very mean during such hard ecenomic times.
