Complaint Review: Zurich And Shaw Financial Group

This company sent me a check for $2989.00 which I deposited into my bank account thinking that I had won some sort of drawing. It had said in the letter that I had in fact won. The check to me looked legit so I took it to my bank and deposited it.

When I arrived home and read more on the letter I realized at the bottom of the letter I was supposed to call this phone number before I deposited the check. So I called them but they were closed for the day. I waited until the next morning and I spoke to them.

The letter read that I had won $46,500.00 in a lottery drawing. I was in shock, I called the company and they verified that for me. They asked me for the check number but I did not give it to them. They asked me for my name and the conformation number on the letter (62006). The man I spoke to said to call him once I had deposited the check and it has cleared into my bank account. I called him back about an hour later because being that I deposited it the day before, it had already cleared. He than told me that all I had to do was send a money gram to:

Lindsay Foster
752 10th Ave
Calgary, Alberta
T2R 08A9

In the amount of $2600.00. Immediately when he told me that I thought SCAM!! So I told him I would go to the store and do it in about an hour but I actually went on the BBB's website and looked up the company and found out about this whole scam. I called the Canadian BBB and they referred me to call the Phone Buster's. So I did that and filed a complaint to them.

This company is ripping people off and I fell victim to them.
