Complaint Review: Portfield Financial & Trust Services

Portfield Financial and Trust Services sent a letter to my old address, containing a cashier's check from Union Bank of California in San Francisco for $2,953.32. The check was remitted by Sandra Miles and (I think) signed by Joseph Pim.

The letter said I was the winner of the North America Travel reward Promotions/Lottery Program. It said I won $28,500 and the cashier's check was to cover expenses to get the money out of Canada. I found it suspicious that the check was issued by Union Bank of California, but the letter is from Canada. The letter has several grammar errors and calls the trip I won all expenses paid, but strangely also says 'You will be responsible for any long distance phone calls made from your room. Please be advised that this is a scam.
