Complaint Review: Matrix Investments Solutions

I have received the same scam as Global Solutions. I won the North American Prize Pool held on the 7th of April 2007.

I have been approved for the lump sum payment of $316,780.00USD. I received a check for $3,675.00 to pay for the "processing fee" of $2900.

I looked up the phone number. It was a Canadian cell phone #. I then called it. The guy on the other end was rude and short with me. I kept him on a long time to be able to write the info down.

He also told me to send the $2900 via Western Union to a private person in Riverside, but gave me a Los Angeles zip code. I looked up the address but it was not found. Further he told me that after I called him with the Western Union receipt that he would have this private person cut the large check.

The $3675 check looked legit. It was signed in ink as was the cover letter. The envelope was handwritten with no return address, but with a canadapost stamp.
