Niagra Claims, Inc Tony Gray They sent me a check for $4550 and wanted me to deposit it in my bank and send them a money transferor Money Gram for $3480 Niagra Falls, Ontario
I got a letter in the mail whch had no return address on envelope.
Inside was a letter stating I had won a lump sum amount of $174,000.
It goes on to state they had been entrusted by the Canadian Lottery Crporation as my sweepstakes prize. They enclosed a business check from Patrick Lumber Company 828 S.W.First Ave., Portland,Oregon 97204. In the amount of $4550, As the initial Payment.
To claim my full prize I need to deposit this check in my bank. Then after it cleared the bank I had to send them back a electronic Money Gram money Transfer to Shirley Watson 4310 Queen St, Niagra Falls, Canada L2 6X5.
To activate my claim I was asked to contact my claim agentTony Gray at 1-778-865-6977.
The Patrick Lumber Co.check has no watermarks on the back and some of the account numbers were missing.
They are trying to get me to cash the check , then get me to wire them the money electronically...After doing this the check would bouce.
Then I am stuck for repaying my bank for the bum check on top of sending them the money electronically.

I have also received the same check in the amount of $4550 in the name of my wife from a company called Patrick Lumber Company. Unfortunatly for them I am a police officer in my little corner of my word of Parker Arizona. Did my research found the number to Patrick Lumber and gave them a courtesy call. They advised me that it is a scam and to fax them a copy of the check. I spoke to the receptionist by the name of Chelsea. Their phone number is (503)222-9671. Give them a call if you or any one you know has received any of these letters or checks. Help catch these people before they get other peoples money!!!
