Highland Financial Group Highland Financial Payment Centre Company sent a check to me for the amount of $3834.82 for taxes on a sweepstakes winning of $65,000. Scarborough, Ontario
I received a letter in the mail stating that I had won an American Consumers Sweepstakes in a random computer ballot system held on October 14, 2009.
A check in the amount of $3,834.82 was sent along with the letter, asking that I call my claims analyst before I deposit. This amount is to cover the state and federal taxes that will incur on my winnings of $65,000.00.
I called the number and the analyst (Craig Bowman) asked that I cash the check and in 2-3 days after the check clears, withdraw $3,140 and go to the nearest Western Union to wire the monies. I am supposed to send the money to the name of Karen Fleer, 270 Spencer Hill Drive, Oakville, Ontario Canada M4L2p5, and send her $2,950 and the remaining $190 is to pay for the charge for sending the money.
After this is done, I should call Mr Bowman back with the confirmation # and he will send out the winnings of $65,000 via UPS. Please help get these people off the streets as someone will get financial hurt by these Fraudulent People.
