Complaint Review: MCI Financial

I received a check for $3,872.99,called the number spoke to Karen asked her several questions and she assured me it is was a legitimate check,I asked her if it was ok to record the conversation she hesitated said sure and said that she was thinking of the same
thing.

She then gave me a name and address to send a money gram for the amount of $3,700.00 to cover Tax/Clearance fee's and that within 4 weeks I should be receiving a check for $57,000.00 for my sweepstakes winngs.

The address of the man I was suppose to send the money gram to is: James Hoover, 5637 NISKO ST, ste 202, Calgary, Canada RST-1X8.

I did go to my bank and showed the check, they searched to verify the account numbers on the check and claimed it was from a bank in California. They also said that several people had cashed/deposited their check in
different amounts of course. I went ahead and had it deposited into an account without giving or putting any of my acct information I want to see what happens.

If they are scammers I hope to help catch them and put them away.
