Today I recieved a letter from Citifinancial Inc., stating that I had won a lump sum amount of $385,000.00. I Got excited because along with the letter came a check in the amount of $3350.00. they wanted me to deposit the check and send them $2850.via Western Union money transfer to this address; Anthony Goldman, 200 Park Ave., New york, NY 10036.
I was instructed to contact Jamie Hernandez at 1-604-726-5022 before depositing the check.
I planned on dipositing the check in my account tomarrow morning , but than I got a suspicius feeling about the whole situation. I Googled, "International Lottery Corporation" and found it to be a scam telling me, "I hope you diden't send the $2850." Bummer, I than found your web sight and decided to report these fiends.

You cannot really believe that a subsidiary of Citigroup would engage in such an obvious scam. The only thing that I do not dispute is that the letter/check etc. claimed to be from Citifinancial. Any time you receive a claim that you have a) inherited b) won or c) can leverage a huge fee for a transaction from a source unknown to you, you may be 99% sure that you are getting scammed and NOT by the reputable company or organization being named.
