Complaint Review: United Access Inc

I received a letter from United Access Financial Inc. on June 13 stating I had won $250,000. it said I was a winner of a shopping sweepstakes held on May, 5, 2008. My ticket serial number (so they said) was no.387450146. Winning no.38-44-66-79-91.

This letter then says that they have been trying to contact me regarding my winnings. That there are 20 other winners as well. They also sent a $4,890.00 check.

The sole purpose of this check was to pay government taxes! The amount to pay was $2,985.00 threw money-gram or westernunion.

It then goes to tells you do not attempt to use this check until you call. That you have 5 business days to call back! It tell you to contact Lewis Mcgregor, and is signed by Mary Williams ( promotion manager)

The number I got was 1-416-831-5655. i called this number and talked to so is suppose to be Lewis Mcgregor, he told me to deposit the check and call him back for further instructions.

After talking to my boyfriend, this didn't seen so true. So before doing anything we decided to look up this company and found all these scam reports, saying exactly what my letter said. Never trust what seems to good to be true, chances are it's not!
