Buysmart Financial Inc. Elevating Systems & Services RE-Final Award Winning Notification/Readers Digest Publishers Clearing House/Online Sweepstakes Database Farmers Branch Texas
I just received a check in the mail for $3,800.00. This check looks to be real yet there are no phone numbers on the check for either the bank or the "company" that sent the check. I had my 12 year old son look up the company name on the Internet and found the report from another individual from Washington that had received the very same thing, did take the check to the bank and found it to be a fraud.
I have not gone as far as to take the check to the bank to verify it's lagitamicy yet and probably wont. I have been the victum of a Nigeria Scam in the recent past from a friend of the family that swindeled us out of almost $30K so I have learned the hard way that the old saying that "if it sounds to good to be true it probably is", is true.
The check I received along with a letter said that I have won $50,000 and that they have forwarded me $3,800 now so that I can pay the tax and administrative fees. They gave me a number to call (1-250-815-0204) and a name of the "Director of Claims" who is Patricia Williams along with the name of the Accredited Agent of Universal Winners Lotteries who is John Michael at Baysmart Financial Inc. I have been given a deadline of December 24, 2007 to respond or the money that I "won" would be returned to charities and re-entrance for the next ___ after this day... a little typo on there part.
The reference numver I was given was GWX-624-BK-04DPC and the letter was dated December 7, 2007. I received it today December 15, 2007. The postage on the envelope was from Canada, the bank is in Dallas Texas and the Company is in Farmers Branch Texas. Yet the winning are from a Online Sweepstakes Database and Internet Unsers from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North and South America and Asia as there Internation Promostions Program.
They say that after I sent them the "Clearance Fees" (yet they don't say what they are) that I will then receive a one time payment of $46,200 in form of a check that will be issued in my name to my address.
I am currently working with an attorney regarding another scammer who is in custody and I will be sure to give this information to him so that he can investigate where this has come from and who is involved.
If anyone else receives anything like this please do not believe it... do your research before believing that anyone will send you money. They wont, trust me I have lived that lie before and it was from someone who we know and trusted. Someone in the US and it still had the same result... no money in my pocket but a lot in thiers.
Good Luck!

Around the first of December, 2007 we got a call from a person who said they received a check issued with our name on it for $3800.00. They sent us a copy of the check and it was our check, with my signature. The check number had been altered as well as the date and the persons name was filled in. We immediately closed the account from North Dallas Bank and Trust. Fortunately we did not have any of our funds affected but we have had to tell a lot of people the check was fraudulent. Most people called us to verify the validity of the check but some people tried to cash the check without checking first. We notified the authorities regarding the scammers however no one wanted to pursue it since no funds actually were lost. The banks fraud department said they were investigating. So for the record, Buysmart Medical Supply, Inc. or Elevating Systems & Srevices is not sending these fraudulant checks nor will we honor them.
