Complaint Review: Lifestyles Group Inc.

I received a letter saying I won a Home Improvement Grant of $39,000 and it was put into a escrow account pending claim. I was a randomly selected name from Readers Digest and Publisher Clearing House databases. They enclosed a check for $3,450.00. This check was from the escrow account of $39,000. I was then supposed to call Don Paul or Leslie Snow give the claim # and then take the check to my bank and deposit it into my account, when the funds were made available withdraw $1,950.00 and $100 for Western Union fees, transmit the $1,950.00 to a Angel Sutton at 8030 SW Freeway, Houston TX 77056 write on the Western Union transmittal form that it was legal fees, I was to take the confirmation # and call Don or Leslie back with the confirmation # and he then would have the remainder of the funds sent to me via FEDEX, where I was to show my ID and get the rest of the money. I called Leslie back and Paul stated that Leslie was out and he Don could help me. When I asked him about the claim and that it was a fraud he said he would have to put me on hold and then he hung up the phone. I hope everyone watches out for these jerks. They could have ruin me, if I who don't have that kind of money to throw away would took them up on this scam.
