Kingsway Financial Trust ripoff fraudulent check DO NOT DEPOSIT, if deposited DO NOT WITHDRAW Money Niagra Fall Ontario Canada
I was sent a letter stating that I won a sweepstake for $38,000 and was sent a check for $2,450. I was to deposit the $2,450 check into my account, then withdraw that money to pay insurance fees for my winnings.
Unfortunately, I did not check this company out on the web and I was taken for a ride. I deposited the check into my account and then withdrew the money and moneygramed the money to a Doris Lopez in Rialto, CA. Afterwhich, I was told by Daniel Johnson that I would be receiving my winnings within 2 business days.
I never received my winnings and a week later I checked my account and it was overdrawn by the amount of the fraudulent check. I have been trying to contact Daniel Johnson at 905-598-6356 for the past week and I keep getting a voicemail that is full. I am a single mother who is in school full time and definitely can not afford people like this to take advantage.
Please help stop these people from taking advantage of more innocent people.

I have decided to try to locate a federal agency that would handle something like this. If I have any luck, I will definitely post it.

I received a check and letter described identically to that of the original poster. Of course, I will not cash, or call number. Isn't there some legal recourse, shouldn't I turn this in to some investigative agency?

Yes, unfortunately, you have learned a very expensive lesson about verifying before acting.
This scam has been going on for quite some time now. It always pays to look before you leap.
