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 stated 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.

My bank advised me it would take 5 business days to clear. I started to go ahead and use my own money to complete the process but my daughter advised me against it. Once 5 days passed I called the bank and the money was still not available. I then spoke to a customer service rep who advised the check was forged!!!! I was surprised because it looked so real.

The letter read that I had won $46,500.00 in a lottery drawing. It also advised to call once I received there letter. I called the number and spoke to Sylvia Parks who asked me for my name and the conformation number on the letter (62006) she then advised me to deposit the check and then call her back once it cleared (This was prior to me make a deposit). I decided to call late one night just to see what voice mail I would get however at 10:49 pm Sylvia Parks answered the phone and gave me the information to western union the money to the following day (5 bus days).

In the amount of $2600.00.

Well you know the out come since the check never cleared no money was ever sent and if you check other reports all of the info is the same just a different names. I had my cousin call with my confirmation and a fake name and they said they had to check the data base and low and behold they found him too!!!

I did reverse look up on the internet and found the number given were all wireless, some Business. I hope they catch these crooks and lock there butts up for ever.
