*Consumer Suggestion: this is called the nigerian check scam
I received a letter from Capital Financial Inc. stating that I had won a sweepstakes drawing for $250K. All I had to do was to deposit a check in the amount of $4200 and send them a check or money order for $3200 for Tax Clearance Fee. I was told to call Charles Brown at 1-778-865-9713 who advised me to then go to the bank but NOT TO SHOW THEM THE LETTER THAT STATED I HAD WON. I was advised in the letter to send the money to Manuela Jones at 2680-Riverside Rd. in Fort Nelson, B.C. Canada. The letter was signed by Brian Robertson, and the check I received was drawn off the account of NUCENTCOM INC. a telecommunications company out of Dallas.

I can't believe there is a single person in this world that falls for this! don't ever western union or moneygram anyone any money ever no matter what unless it is to a family member!!! someone is selling a bridge in newyork for 3,000 bucks what a bargain!

Its a scam plain and simple, but if you insist on playing along, show the bank the letter, ( which by ther way if a compnay was on teh up and up why wouldnt you be able to show the letter to any one? Its good publicity.) if the bank is fine with cashing the check ( Which I highly doubt) do so and DONT SEND THEM ANY MONEY, close out your account( Just a safety precautioin) and open a new one, HOLD ON TO THE MONEY until the check is cleared by the bank( id say two weeks should be enough for the bank to figure it out.) , if it bounces return the money to them.

no legitimate sweep anywhere requires u to pay a single cent to obtain the win. In USA its illegal... in some other countries its still illegal in others its the same as robbery. Unless u actually enter a sweep yourself, its safe to say its a fake. No sweep autoenteres you unless u do something to get entered. Example: a local casino enteres each person who plays using a 'players card' gets entered into a big sweep contest. But only player card users.
