Complaint Review: NORTH AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKES

I received a Letter of declaration that I won $100,000.00 n the North American Sweepstakes. I was sent a check for $4,200.000 supposely for non-resident taxes. I was to deposit the check and then send via Western Union $2,985.00 for taxes.

I researched the check which appears to be a real check, however, there were several account names on the check that does not match the Sweepstakes info. Also why send me a check for non-resident taxes and then request that I send via Western Union or Money Gram taxes on the $100,000.00 in the amount of $2,985.00. I perform income taxes for companies and individuals and no the taxes on $100,000.00 is greater than $2,985.00.

So needless to say I became alert and started reseaching.... I read the ripoff report that this happend to someone else. So, I'm writing to add my story.

The check has Turf Maintenance Equpment & Supplies, drawn from citizens Bank, Under the Incorporated name of Griffith but yet it was sent by North american Sweeptakes?
