Specific Lottery Commission - Specific Financial Management Talked with a Francine Nicolas, from Financial Management Group says their data base was stolen by Metropolitan Lottery Commision sent two checks one from each company ripoff Halifax Nova Scotia
Was sent a check for $2,997.67 one from Metropolitan Lottery Commission/Kingsway FinancialManagement then another after Thanksgiving week From Specific Lottery Commission/Specific Financial Management - Talked to Francine Nicolas 39 Liberty Ave, Ste 224, Halifax Novascotia
She asked me if I had received a check from someone else a week earlier and I told her yes.
I had deposited the check in my account and was waiting for it to clear. Then she explains that Metropolitan Lottery Commission stole their data base and that they were the frauds.
The Lady from Metropolitan Lottery Commission (first letter with check) at some point she stop answering the phone and would not return calls Her Name was Mary Tyler the name in the letter was Paula Jordan but she was on vacation. 46 Liberty Ave., Suite 224, Halifax Novascotia - She sent a check Company name on check was Fish Distributers LTD or Inc. (?) located in Michigan
The second check Company Name was Scottish Christmas, Inc. Box 5 Lake Orion MI - I would not deposit it in my account becauxe the first check had at some point had a STOP put on it.
this only happened after I talked to the first lady when she realized that I had been sent two checks - Mistake #1
Mistake #2 is the check only got stopped after I talked to the second Lady Francine Nicolas. She tried to get me to go to a check cashing facility I went to three One said that the check was dated more that 5 days. would cash it The second said that they couldnt cash it because it was more that 7 days
The third said the check did not have an address and that The Company telephone number did not respond to the address Halifax area code for a Lake Orion, Michigan address.
I had Francine Nicolas speak with the lady at the check cashing place. She was supposed to have called her back a half hour later to giver her information that was requested and she hadnt called after an hour had passed.
When I tried to call Francine - unsurprising no one answered the phone and the answering machine was filled up and I could not even speak to another person
I believe that after I Francine speak to lady from a check cashing facility - she backed down -
If I am wrong about her I will come back to this site and tell you if she has done the right thing
In all I have a bank account that is messed up because of this.
My belief is that the both companies are in this together.

Search for information on all the parties on the Internet. You won't find anything good. Do reverse look-ups on the addresses, phone numbers, postal codes. The results won't make sense.
Above all else, do not take any cash and send it to these people.
Western Union is not your friend -- any money sent via Western Union is untraceable.
The checks are stolen or forged. You can call the company on the checks yourself and ask them. Look up Fish Distributors yourself to get their real phone number.
Stay out of check cashing places. You are trying to pass a bad check. They can call the cops on you.
If do manage to cash the check, you are going to want to hold on to the money so you can pay them back.
