Complaint Review: Rainbow Financial Trust

I was sent a letter on July 9, 2007 saying that I was a winner in the North American Utilities Draw that was held on Monday April 12, 2007. The letter also came with a check enclosed for $2,980.00 saying that this was the check that would pay for the taxes that would come along with the initial lump sum of $48,500 USD cash, which is the winning payout for the series.

The letter stated that the firm (Rainbow Financial Trust) has secured the percentage surcharge to be paid as commission on my winning prize to the Lotto Regulatory Board. They also asked me to keep my winnings confidential until the prize money was received so that we could avoid having multiple claims!

Now if I won through my utility bills or phone number then how would there be multiple claims made on it if I hadn't even known that I was entered in the contest to win the prize???

They asked me to call my payment coordinator (the letter gave me 2 names) as soon as I had received the notice so that they could assist me in finalizing the payment process. The letter also stated that the awards were only redeemable until July 30th, 2007. It was signed by "the President" of the company Luch Gorsen.

When I called the number I did talk to the female "coordinator" in which told me that I was suppose to put the check in my account and then call them back and let them know when the funds had become made available to me. The check looks real and came with my complete name and address on it, all of the information is correct and just as it is on my actual Utility Bills and my phone bill!
