North America Holiday Travel Reward Promotions False winnings of $45,000 and fake check (looks real) and letter sent to me. ripoff Hull Ontario
I received a letter with "Freedom Financial Trust" on the letter head stating that I won the North America Holiday Travel Reward Promotions. The letter was accompanied with a check for $2,975.15 stating that this money is to help pay for fees and that I would then receive the rest of my money $42,024.85 totalling $45,000.
The check looks legit, I was 95% sure it was fake though, having worked at a bank before. I assumed that they give you the money so that you deposit it, pay the fees, and then the check bounces and they walk away with the money since you should never have to pay for anything won. The check is written from Staples.
