Portable Research, Star Capital Disbursement Agency, Agent Mr. Bryan Washington, Chris Eggleton, Mg. Scam - Toronto, Ontario
I received a check for $2,495.00 along with a letter stating that I had won $145,000.00. The letter further said: You will be using some of this money to pay applicable taxes. The tax amount is USD $2,005 to be paid via Moneygram wiring facility located at Wal-Mart. Please do not attempt to use this check until you call and speak with the claim agent...
When I called I was told to deposit the check and call the agent right back, he was going to give me further instructions on how to pay the taxes. I was suspicious from the moment the so called agent answered the phone. So I asked google about Portable Research, Inc., and there they were. Complaints from others. Similar letters, same scam.
