Universal Rewards And Trust Received a counterfiet check claiming I had won a Sweepstakes Toronto Ontario
Just like all the rest of the reports on this company I received a check for $4875 and a letter telling me I was one of thirty two winners. I did not believe this was legit so I called the Attourney General. He was not aware of this scam but was confident that it is just that, a scam.
I did not get ripped off but I am sure some people will fall for it. I'm not sure how they rip you off though. If they tell you to wait for the check to clear before you send the money to the "tax agent" and of course the Check never clears because it is counterfeit, how do they get any money from you?

YOUR BANK MAKES THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO YOU WITHOUT KNOWING THE CHECK IS COUNTERFEIT

1) Your bank cashes the check for you, not knowing until weeks later that it is counterfeit.
2) The criminal tells you to immediately send that cash to make a "TAX" payment using Western Union or Money Gram
3) You send away the money.
4) Your bank discovers weeks later that the check you cashed was fake and they demand you return the money immediately or you'll be arrested.
5) The money you sent away by Western Union or Money Gram is untraceable and lost forever. You are responsible to repay your bank.
