Complaint Review: TOP Financial Services Inc.

I received a letter stating I won $250,000 in a "compensation draw". Enclosed was also a check made payable to me dated 6/25/2008 from Standard Trust Inc. located in Florida.

I called the "claims agent" and was told to deposit the check in my account and then send money via MONEYGRAM to my "tax agent" to cover Canada taxes and they would fedex the balance of my winnings.

Suntrust was the name of the bank on the check. When I called and gave the account number to verify there was actually an account with enough money to cover this check, the Suntrust representative informed me that the account was closed PRIOR to 6/25/2008 for "fraudulent activity". The representative took all the information on the check and said the bank is adding it to the list of other fraudulent checks that were written by the company.

I was also informed to take the letter and check to my local police station and file a fraudulent check report.

Just FYI....anytime you receive a check from anyone, you should ALWAYS call the bank and tell them you want to make sure there is enough money in the account to cover the check that was written to you!!!
