Complaint Review: British Lotto Commission - Equinox Disbursment Company - Oakville Ontario

I also received the same info (different check and different addresses) but all around the same. Let me explain what happened. The people that sent the letter to you are the "bad" people (for lack of a better word) Some companies have preprinted checks, where only the amount and the "pay to" area would have to be filled in. These people "british lotto" have stolen the company on the checks info and are sending the letters like you received out. They tell you to deposit the check and call back once it clears your bank. Once it clears then they tell you to wire the money and they automatically get the money once it is wired. But in the mean time your bank is contacting the bank on the check to try to get the funds. But that bank (on the check) gives your bank the info that the check is stolen and you end up having to pay the $3000 and a bounced check fee. Glad you stopped when you did. My story is also in the ripoffreports.

I havent yet sent any money to the crooks, nor do i plan on sending any. The persons name on the check as the owner is Guy Carpenter & co. Does anyone know of him? I looked him up on line and found out he is indeed a person. Could it be that the crooks stole checks from him? Im terrified now that the bank will cash the check and it would be as if i stole someone elses money. I dont know what to do.

Cindy, The check is forged, it is worthless, you did not win any lottery. It works like this, you deposit the check, the scam artists want you not to send a portion of the money,now as cash, western union to them to claim the "prize". If you have 2500.00 of your own real funds in the bank the bank will give it to you against the phony check because the bank stands to lose nothing, YOU do. So if you send money or sent money, when the check officially bounces then you Cindy will lose that amount in your savings. This is why the scam artists will pressure you to send the money, they want you to do this before you find out the check is not real, but printed on someones laser printer at some internet cafe somewhere in Pongo Pongo. I just hope you did not send any money.

Call your bank and inform them that you did some research and found out that the check will be no good. That is, if you didn't already send someone in Canada money via Western Union.
