Alcan Inc. "Award Claim Final Notification" *SCAM*DONT FALL FOR IT* Atlanta Georgia
I have recieved a letter from Alcan Inc. saying that I have been "an exceptional lucky sweepstake winner" and that I must claim my money prize of $50,000.00 before it will be donated to a charity organization. If you have received a letter like this, do not fall for it! They sent me a phoney check of $2,995.00 and said to deposit this check into my bank and turn around and write them a check of $2800.00 to pay for a processing fee. The balance of $195.00 would be used to pay for the transfer charges charged to me by Western Union of Money Gram when sending the money back to Alcan Inc. Then I am to fill out this "Payment Confirmation Form" sent with the letter and phoney check with all my information and fax it back to the number they put on the paper (1-204-887-4606). The funny thing is that Alcan Inc.'s address is PO Box 8141, Atlanta Georgia 30328 with a telephone number of 1-204-951-8860. When I dialed this number, there was no business voicemail or anything. It just says that "mailbox is full, unable to leave a message". When I googled the area code, 204, it came out to be somewhere in Canada. Anyways, if you recieve a letter like this or similar to the one thats been sent to me, do not get your hopes up. Look at the phoney check they send you, it is paper thin and the water mark looks fake. Report it right away. These people are evil and they need to be stopped. Lucky for me that I was a bank teller before so I could see that the check they sent me was fake right off the bat. But for people who dont know and are in desperate need of money, this letter can be so decieving that other people can FALL FOR IT. If I didnt know any better, it could look really legit and they pretend to use sponsors such as READERS DIGEST, PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE, SWEEPSTAKES, and, LOTTO. The letter that I recieved is signed by a Schwalbe Mckenzie who is the Director Claims & Credit Control. Im not sure if its the same name for all letters. But be aware and report scams like these, dont fall for it, you'll be out of money and they'll just walk away and do it to someone else again!
