Complaint Review: Royal Imperial Financial Management Group

I received a letter date 7/20/06 which I received around the the 1st of Aug. The letter informed me that my name was attached to a ticket which won the lottery inthe third category.

Enclosed with the letter was an assistance check of $2,998.20 which was for clearance fees to be remitted to a North American Agent. In the letter it said to contact claim agent Monica Davis of Royal Imperial Financial Management Group at 204-951-8103.

When calling the agent she asked for the check number to activate the check and told me to call back when the check cleared.

Once the check cleared I called, she then gave me instructions to Western Union the $2,842.50 to a Diane Brown in Montrel, Canada.

She then indicated that a courier would be in my area on the following Wednesday, August 9th to deliver my check of 85,500.00 and that $5,301 was for Sponsor's Commission.

After following all these instructions the check which they sent my for $2,998.20 was subsequently returned for nsf. I am now out of $3.000.

I work hard for my money and I cannot afford to lose $3.000. Plus this situation caused checks that I had written to bounce.

Please tell me what can be done.

Your assistance in this most urgent matter will be greatly appreciated.
