Complaint Review: Westernline International World Sweepstakes

After receiving an letter postmarked from Canada, with a letter head address of Elkridge MD and a check inclosed from a legitimate bank in Sherman Oaks CA in the amount of $2,180.00 I was instructed to call to find out how to receive my "total prize money" in the maount of $46,500.00 USD cash." The number to call was 1-514-815-4512 as soon as possible. My "payment coordinator Mrs. Mary Wilson or Mr. Michael Simmons would assist us in finalizing the payment process.

I called a was told this was a legitimate winnings from Publisher's Clearing HOuse. The reason for the check was to cover the charge/fees required to be paid prior to receiving my winnings. After calling back a second time I was instructed to send a Money Gram to my agent: Jessica Wilson (no relation to Mrs. Mary Wilson) at 123 Gard Avenue, New York, NY 10024. This money gram would cost me $100.00 to send above and beyone the $2,180.00 charges/fees.

When I proceed to ask more questions I was stopped and told that she (Mrs. Mary Wilson) was only there to give me information on how to collect my winnings. When I advise her she was being rude and Publisher's clearing house would never employ somewhat like herself she hung up.

The check looks legitimate, the bank is legitimate. I will call the bank on MOnday to advise them of this problem.
