Safeway Financial Services - International Claims Department - de-lotto North American Sweepstakes Lottery enclosed check to be cashed for government taxes they can't be deducted because of insurance bond policy coverage ripoff Toronto Ontario
I received a letter with a check enclosed. It said to please do not attempt to use this check until you call and keep confidential until claim is processed.
I did call and deposited the check. But I have not pulled any funds out to the address that I was give to send to tax agent Elizabeth Stephens 117 Clarke Rd, London Ontario, Canada N5W5E6. I am to send $2850.00 by western union or money gram out of the $4850.00 check I received. I told the man on the phone that I will wait till the check clears before anything.
I have never won anything in my life and was skeptical. I was told there were scams going on so I started to search them on line. I found that the name DE-Lotto North American Sweepstakes Lottery came up but not the financial name that was on the header. I called my bank and told my rep that the check could be a forgery. I am waiting on a reply from my bank still. I have been lucky that I was told about these things happening and won't lose money. I also found out that Lotteries from foreign countries are illegal. I was unaware of this as well. I also don't recall ever entering any sweepstakes for Canada. I hope that these people can be stop and if any of this information can help in locating them or helping someone else before it is too late will be a good thing.
