Complaint Review: Grand National Clearing House

I received a letter stating FINAL NOTICE, yet I had not been contacted prior to this letter.

They tell you to contact Ms. Karen Miller at 1-888-259-5895 ext. 1 or at 1-647-436-1235 ext. 1 or the winnings will be forfeited to the government (according to NALC 701 subsection C). They give a reference code and everything to use and then they give the name of Mr. Marc Williams, who is supposed to be an Internal Revenue Officer handling the file.

They even put what resembles a notory stamp is the lower part of the letter. In the center it says "confirmed" and around the outside it says "North American Lotto Commision". It all looks so very authentic, and trustworthy, they even go so far as to tell you to keep you lottery winnings private, to ensure your own safety. They enclosed a check for $3,987.57 to cover the IRS non-resident fee.

A legitimate lottery or contest will not make you transfer money, if something is owed like taxes, they will be automatically withdrawn from the winning amount.

If this information gets around, maybe less people will get scammed each year and these places will be put out of business.

Thankfully I looked it up on line prior to taking any actions and found I was not the only one who had received this EXACT information!!
