Complaint Review: Imperial Foundation Lotto

On 12-18-06 I received a letter in the mail telling me I was a third category winner of the Imperial Foundation Lotto held in Dublin, Ireland. Enclosed in that letter was a check that appeared to be real, for $2994.80. In the letter I was given a deadline date, Ref. #, Winner Code, Agent (Tina Douglas), address, and phone number.

After receiving this letter I started doing research of my own, only to find out the only info that was good was the phone number. Imperial foundation lotto doesn't exist; Tina Douglas which more than likely is a false name doesn't work for Alpha Financiers because that company doesn't exist either. 335 Smith Street, the address they gave me was false! I was furious so I called.

I called around 12:00pm, a woman answered which sound like a home phone "may I help you", I replied "my I ask whom I'm speaking to" she ask me once more than I ask for Tina, she said she was out to lunch call back in 10 min. A baby started crying so she wanted to rush me off the phone, I asked her what city are you located in, she gave me the false city so I asked her for the foundations email address, she hung up. I called back she answer the phone yelling telling me to call back when Tina gets back. I cut her off by telling her that what she's doing is farad and I was going to file a report, she hung up!
