Capital Financial Inc Scam Artist preying on unknowing individuals promising large sweepstakes winnings Prince Rupert British Columbia
I received a "final notice" on 6/30/08 from Capital Finance Inc. informing me that I was a winner of the "Mega Million Draw" sweepstakes that was held 4/21/07. Included in the letter was a very real check for $4200.00 in which they indicated was to be used towards the taxes. The check was from Nucentcom Inc in Dallas Tx and drawn from Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara CA.
The letter stated to NOT act on the notice until I contacted "my" agent. I spoke to a "Michael Davis" at 778-317-5117 who did not answer the phone announcing a company name. I heard children in the back ground and immediately believed it was a scam.
Mr. Davis told me to immediately deposit the check into my account and call him back as soon as I had done so. He further told me to not show the letter to the bank as it had my winning sweepstakes numbers listed and my winnings could potentially be stolen.
I questioned him about the sweepstakes, and he told me I had entered at either KMart, CVS or Wallgreens. He congratulated me and reitterated that I needed to call him back as soon as the depoist was made.
My next action was to research "Mega Millions Draw" on the internet, and instantaneously, scam reports started popping up. I found a report from webpage, "Ripoff Report" from someone in CO that read just like mine, right down to the bank name and contact phone numbers.
Thank goodness for services such as Ripoff Report, and more importantly that I had access to the internet. I imagine there are thousands of unsuspecting victims that these crooks are stealing from on a daily basis. I hope one day to see justice served!
