Complaint Review: Palms Financial - Division Of Palms Casino Hotel

On Friday, December 21, 2007, I received an envelope in the mail addressed to me. In the upper left hand of the envelope, it had Sun Life. The postage was stamped with Canada pastage stamps three times. It also stated confidential on it. When I opened it, I immediately knew that it was probably a scam, so my husband advised me to research the internet. After doing so, I found this site.

The letter contained a check for the amount of $3,989.99, they stated in the letter that this was to cover administrative payment and clearance fees for my winnings of $57,000 in United States funds.

The letter also contained a reference number, claim number, and the name of an agent to contact.

The letter stated that my name was randomly selected using a computerized ballot system from Readers Digest, Publishers Clearing House, Online Sweepstakes, Internet Games, etc.

It also stated that I would need to authorize and process for my price before the deadline of December 24, 2007.

There was also a routing number on the check from Wells Fargo Bank, Commercial Banking, P.O. Box 98588, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8588. The routing number is 722961 and concidentially the check number is No. 722961.
The address on the check is: PALMS CASINO HOTEL, 4321 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103. Right below this in small is: 226 200 0350.
About 2 inches under this, and over about 1/2" it has OPERATING ACCOUNT.
