Complaint Review: Imperial Financial Settlement LLC

I received a letter stating I was the 2nd prize winner in the second category of the USA Departmen Stores Sweepstake Lottery held on Jan. 30th, 2010.

It contained a check in the amount of $4,910.00 from the Seiyo Shipping Company, LTD. with a Citibank location of Milpitas, CA.  The letter told me to contact my Claims Agent:  Peter Chung @ 1-778-865-4477. This number is a cell phone from Vancouver, B.C. I was supposed to use this check to help pay for the documentation, processing fees and taxes and make this check payable to my tax agent names which were Pat Kelly and George Hill.  I am supposed to pay by Western Union which means they expect me to deposit this check and send the money from my account.   

This is too good to be true!  There are so many errors and incorrect use of english and punctuation, even on the "official check"  I didn't want to call anyone because I thought the fees for just calling would be very high. There are two other addresses for the company in England and Tronto Ontario, Canada, so this is international stuff.

Please look into this scam since there are so many people receiving these and with everyone in financial difficulties someone may think this is an answer to prayer and it is far from it.
