Summit Financial Inc./Fidelity International Lotto/slidecircuir Awards I recived a check for $4,890.00 and a letter stating that I had won $250,000.00 from a sweepstakes They wanted me to then western union them $2970.00. TORONTO Ontario
They sent me a letter stating that I had won $250,000. Enclosed was a check for $4,890. They said not to cash the check until I contacted my "claims agent". Once I deposit the check call them back and they will give me the address of a government tax agent to western union $2,970 to to cover canadian taxes on the $250,000.
All of the names were Martin Greg(claim agent), Sheila Harris (promotions director), and Sharon Tom (Gov. Tax Agent). Sharon Tom and Martin Greg threw me off because they are both first name lastnames. So i contacted the fruad dept. of my bank and they found it to be a fraudulant check.
The bank would have made those funds available to me the next day and I would be out $2,970, because there would have been no way to trace that money, and I would liable and I would never recieve $250,000.
They used major company names like, Microsoft, Wal-mart, Sears, Toshiba, Ford, and GM.That if I had shopped at any of these places my name was in their computer data-base and was randomly selected from their North-American Dept. If it's too good to be true, IT IS!
