R & L Financial Inc. Sweepstakes Fraud Phoenix Arizona
This company sends you a check drawn on 'JP Morgan / Chase Bank" for the sum of around $3,900.00 And then tells you in a letter that all you have to do is deposit the check into your checking account and send them a check for $2,900.00 to cover International taxes. then they will send you the remainder for the $288,000.00 you supposedly won.
The Check looks real in every way. the bank routing numbers are correct. The Account is inactive!!!!
So what happens is you end up with a bounced check and overdraft fees and they end up with $2,900.00 of your money!
The envelope is postmarked from Canada. The business and contact phone numbers are in Phoenix, AZ The E-Mail Addresses to contact them are a Yahoo address.
