Greenwich Securities Inc, International Claim Department BEWARE! THIS IS A SCAM! One of twenty declared winners! Final notification for the sum of $250,00 US Dollars from Shoppers Sweepstakes Morriston And Norwood Ontario and Massachusetts
I received a Winning Final Notification apparently from a shoppers Sweepstakes held on Jan. 5th, 2009. It claims that I am entitled to the sum of $250,000. Looks official with claim number and phone number.
Enclosed with the letter is a Check made out to me for the sum of $4,980. The address on the check is from Greenwich Securities 249 Oceana Way, Norwood, MA. A different address than the letter.
My instuctions are to deposit the check in order to pay the Government taxes on my winnings before they could be awarded. Once I would make the deposit I would then receive an address as to where to send my tax money paid by either Moneygram or Western Union. RED FLAG!
I did not deposit the check so that they would not be able to receive my banking information on the returned check. I also could not find any legitimate information regarding the company or the addresses on the internet.
