Complaint Review: TD Financial Inc

I received a letter with a claim number that it was the final notice. That I was pleased to advice you that you are one of the winners in the second categfory of SWeepstake and Lottery Draw held on April, 1st, 2008. They gave me a ticket with a serial number. I was instructed to deposited the check of 4,950.00 into my bank account which is the deducted taxes from my "winnings". The purpose of the check is to assist me in paying for the NON Resident government service tax (GST). Taxes must be paid in full, before winnings can be legally released. I was told to send the payment to the tax agent: Russell Powell, 9299 W 49th Street, Windsor, ontario, Canada. I was adviced to make the payment by a money gram and to do it at Walmart. I did so after speaking to Mary Johnson. I asked several questions first how did I win. Her response was my name was entered by Macy's or JC Penney. I must have used a credit card recently for them to enter my information. I did everything as instructed. Than I find out they wanted another $2,000 dollars to cover the duty tax. The courier could not get through customs. Finally, I was notified by my band after the money was released that the check was a fraud. I am in debt now and might lose everything becasue I owe the bank 4950.00 dollars. So, I hope this company is prosecuted criminally for fraud, deceit, and anything esle that can be applied. I will never trust anyone again. I really thought that I won a lottery. Boy do I feel stupid right now. I called today 6.30.08 the complany and no one is available. Sam Garfield is the Promotions Manager where is he??????
