Complaint Review: North-American Sweepstakes Lottery

I was an attempted victim of the 'OLGC' Which is a lottery fraud, I have pasted the REAL Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporations fraud alert. There check looks oh so real and they even have the mock letterhead very well done. I can email you the copy of the letter and check on request. I have reported them to the phonebusters and am trying to get tv stations in minnesota to pick this up. The physical address is non exsistent and the phone number I can't find on the net but there is a real person that hangs up on me. In my letter he calls himself RAY JOHNSON, the letter is signed Michelle Lynn Hallett, but the typed name on the letter is Michael Anderson. The fake winning numbers weren't even in the limits of the lottery numbers (no numbers over 47 picked, but I somehow won with a 48) This is a horrible thing to do to people and quite pathetic.

Know the facts about playing OLG and Canadian Lotteries
OLG does not operate lotteries outside of the Province of Ontario, Canada.

* Canadian and Provincial laws restrict OLG's gaming activities to the Province of Ontario. Therefore, OLG does not offer lottery products over the Internet or to residents outside the Province of Ontario. In addition, subject to U.S. postal regulations, OLG cannot mail lottery related materials into the United States.

No taxes of any kind have to be paid to Canadian authorities on lottery winnings in Canada.

* Canadian tax authorities do not consider lottery winnings to be taxable for Canadian tax purposes. Although the Internal Revenue Service does consider lottery winnings to be subject to U.S. tax, U.S. residents must report such profits on their individual tax returns and send the money directly to their government themselves. OLG will never withhold the U.S. tax against Canadian winnings.

No fees of any kind have to be paid to Canadian authourities on lottery winnings in Canada.

* Government operated lotteries do not require advance fees to acquire your winnings. If you have won a lottery, you do not pay any upfront fees to anyone at any time for any reason.

OLG does not use third parties to locate or pay its winners.
