Mutual Financial Services Inc. This ripoff from Canada. Branching out from Nigeria? Midland Ontario
Received a letter From Mutual Financial Services Inc., informing me I was entitled to $250,000 US Dollars. I was selected through a random Computer Ballot system drawn from over 50,000 names because I was a winner of Shoppers Sweepstakes held on June 5th, 2008 in the 2nd category.
Enclosed was a cheque for $4,890.00. which was deducted from the $250,000 for tax purposes, but not to deposit it until I contact claim agent Bob Morris.
On the cheque are two companies listed, Mutual F.S. Inc., and Anchorbank FSB, both located in Appleton, WI. Googled both, could only find Anchorbank listed as a "bona fide" company.
Then tax amount was $2,985.00 US dollars to be paid by Moneygram or Western Union.

Is in the fraudulent check. The recipient was to send the "tax" money via Western Union or Moneygram. Someone would have picked up the money and disappeared. It's a fairly common scam with quite a few variants.
The constant factor in all of this is the sending of money through Western Union or Moneygram. It can be nearly impossible to track someone down after they have picked up the money and these services are favored by scammers for that exact reason.
