C.A. & C. Consultants Inc. North American Sweepsteaks is a FRAUD! Toronto Ontario Canada
I received a letter and check in the mail. There was no return address on the envelope. There was a business name and address as a header at the top of the letter:
C.A. & C. Consultants Inc.
550 Bay.Street.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9P7C1
The address for the business listed did not match the address listed on the check which was:
C.A. & C. Consultants Inc.
1850 Wild Turkey Circle
Corona, CA 92880-1799
Note: The address above actually belongs to a company called Chemical Consultants Inc.
The form letter didn't have my name on it, it was addressed 'Sir/Madam'. It proceeded to state that I was a winner of the North American Sweepstakes held on April 28 in the 2nd category, Ticket serial no. 76063580 which drew the lucky winning number 8507752.
The letter stated that they had tried unsucessfully to contact me regarding having won $100,000. In accordance with their disbursement policy, my claim number was assigned to their North American Claims Affiliate. To expedite processing they enclosed a check for $4,900 to be used to pay the applicable government (no discussion of which government, US Federal, State or Canadian) taxes (which are only $3,900). The $3,900 could only be paid by Moneygram or Western Union directly to the tax agent.
The letter stated that when the winning was processed, I would receive a final check for a lump sum payment of $95,100 delivered by UPS. The last sentence of the letter recommends not to attempt to use the check until making the call, which must be done within 5 business days and speak with Mr. Tom James at 1-905-598-3976 (claim agent). I googled the name of the bank the check was drawn on and found it to be legitimate, but the business name on the the check is a rip off of the real business as the address listed on the check. Then I googled the phone number for Mr. Tom James and come up with a hit on this website for ripoffs.
I realize that there are many people that do not have home computers (let alone internet access and knowledge of how to use it to investigate things like this) so I will be checking in with a friend in law enforcement to see if there is anything further that can be done to stop this fraudulent activity.
