Complaint Review: Zurich And Shaw Finacial Group

I was sent a letter from zurich and shaw informing me that i had been picked through a drawing held by North American Utilities held on Mon. April 12th 2007.they gave me my supposedly ticket number and serial number of the ticket that was pulled,tha was suppose to be mine.the letter went on to tell me i had won $46,500 and they were sending a check in the amount og $985.00 in which covered there fees for handling the winnings. They told me to keep my winnings confidental until i recieved the lump sum i had one. I called the number provided in which i was to call before July 2nd to get my winnings.I called numberous of times and only got an answering machine in which i left my information. I cashed the check the next day and everything went through fine. Since then i had tried to get in contact with the company in regards to the rest of the winnings but only got that same answering machine and no call back. I am a single mother of 3 and any finacial help that comes my way is usually looked at as afinacial blessing. I actually thought i had recieved tht finacial blessing that i've been praying for until i started to research the company on the internet in hopes to get in contact with them that way. I found that this company is a fraud.Everything was a scam. I cant believe i was that foolish to believe i could wake up to free money in the mailbox. though nothing has come back on me i am afraid that the future could bring me legal and finacial burdens on me.
