Canada; Tel: 1-778-316-6367, Final Notice that I drew the lucky winning number: 21-88-74-48-22 and wsas entitled to the sum of US $250,000.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars) payble to me by bank draft, or certified checque and will be delivered to me by special courer company. Enclosed wsas a check of US 4,200.00 which was deducted form my winnings. The purpose of the cheque is to pay for the Tax Clearance Fee to tax agent Philip Morrill 2203 Rosewood St Kamloops, BC Canada; the tax amount: $3200.00 us dollars (Three Thousand Twoo Hundred Dollars) Payment method was to be by Moneygram or Western Union. I was advised to contact my claims agent Charles Brown as soon as I received the notification at 1-778-316-6367 to begin the claims process on my winnings. I made contact at the number given to me and was told to immediately deposit the $4,200.00 check and call back for further instructions. I made the deposit on April 1, 2008; my bank placed a 5-day hold. The next day I made several attempts to call Charles Brown however an automated voice states: the person you are calling is not available try your call later. On April 8, 2008, the Citibank (Delaware) ck 24310 for $4,200.00 was returned marked as "counterfeit". I had deposited $3,200 in my savings and $1,000 in my checking and was charged $25.00 fee in each account for the returned check; my bank also paid out some items that came in and now my checking account is standing in an overdraft.

Call your bank

This is the Canadian Lottery scam.

Call your bank right now and tell them your story. They probably wont refund the bounce fees but they can change the bank account numbers you gave these people before they drain your accounts.

You also gave them your social security number. Ask your bank about identity theft insurance and buy it for at least a month until you can shop for a better policy.
