Fence-work Financial Services Inc. My husband recieved the same letter stating he won the sweepstakes for 250,000.00 US dollars. Sent him a check for 4,550.00 to pay taxes with. We just recieved it today so we'll update again tomorrow. Edmonton, Alberta,Arizona Canada
My husband recieved a letter just today stating he won $250,000.00 with a check for $4,550.00 to pay taxes with. We were skeptical all day about this so I decided to surf the internet for answers. I googled Fence-Work Financial Services Inc. and found this site. The instructions on the letter say to call the agent for instructions on what to do and DO NOT act on the letter before contacting this agent. We have not yet presented the check to the bank, but according to what i've already read on this site. I wouldn't be surprised. I will also update as soon as I find out more information on this matter.

The check -which looks good - has been stolen from some company or forged and although the bank will deposit it in your account immediately within a few days (after you have wired GOOD money to this organization) the bank will discover that the check is no good. You have just defrauded the bank and are responsible for returning the money you have wired. The bank can also (but probably won't if you are an old customer) press charges against you which will take time on your part to rebutt. Obviously you will never hear from the recipient of your wired money. He is probably enjoying the vacation that you have paid for. Just turn the stuff you have recieved over to the police or FBI and have a good day. IF YOU WIN A SWEEPSTAKES YOUR TAXES ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE AMOUNT YOU WIN. YOU NEVER HAVE TO "PAY" TO RECIEVE YOUR WINNINGS.
