Complaint Review: DE- LOTTO NORTH AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY Aka NORTHWEST SECURITIES INC. Aka INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS - TORONTO ONT Nationwide

It was while I was going through a ruff time and had asked GOD to please answer another Prayer before I lose everything again... I have a house and a car that I am paying for and some on the side bills that would cause me to have bad credit and I got a phone call from my Mother who sounded so Happy so I asked what was she so happy about she said I want you to come to my house and I will show you so I rushed all the way to her house which is where I get most of my mail and she gave me the check first so I looked at it and asked her was this a joke where did she get it from and she said out the mail box with a letter with it so I asked for the letter and began reading it said " June 11, 2008, WINNING FINAL NOTIFICATION in bold letters and all caps I kept reading WE ARE PLEASED TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU ARE ONE IF THE DECLARED WINNERS OF DE- LOTTO NORTH AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKED LOTTERY HELD ON MAY 9TH,2008 IN THE SECOND CATEGORY. WE MADE MANY UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT YOU REGARDING THIS WINNING. YOU ARE THEREFORE ENTITLED TO THE SUM OF $125,000.00 US DOLLARS. YOUR CLAIM NUMBER IS KT/PA-785CA ENCLOSED IS THE CHECK FOR $4875.00 US DOLLARS AND TO SEND THE GOVERNMENT BACK USD $2,875.00 EITHER BY WESTERN UNION OR MONEYGRAM. And to call my direct agent MRS. JESSICA THOMAS congratulations yours truly Martin Lawson (promotion manager) And it was sign by Martin and everything I felt that it was true because I had been on the internet signing up for different sweepstakes and entering to win money as well as loans I started crying an started planning what bills I was going to play first once I called Jessica and got the ok. I rushed home and told my boyfriend the news and started prau\ying on my hands and knees Thanking The Good LORD above taht he had answered my Prayer so quickly and the next morning I hadn't even when to sleep I started calling @ 10 sharp being that the time was written for Canada I wasn't sure what time it would be in North Carolina no one answered and the message box was full then I called again an the message box wasn't full this time so I left a message and kept calling and still no one answered nor returned my call so I just took the check to quick cash and they said that they couldn't cash it for me bacause they had casked so many that day that they had to see what the report would be on the other checks so I walked out and when to the J** store on the corner of my street and he said come back on Friday when he would have the money to cash the check so I couldn't wait that long so I went to a bank that I use to have an account with they took the check asked me did I recieve a letter with this check I said yes but I don't have it with me so the lady took my check gave me a copy of it and said the check was fake but then I went back to get the check cause I didn't believe her an she still had my check in one piece nathing written on it or anything so I asked for my check back sao I could investigate and so I would know that my check wasn't being cashed by anyone else so when she gave it back to me she placed her hand on top of the check so I couldn't take it and got a big black marker and wrote FRAUD on the check so I called Wachovia to see what was the status on the check and they told me that they think it maybe fake bring it in an let them see but before that if I have a computer look up the name of the bank and see if the bank is real and if so they will cash it for me at wachovia so I looked up the bank and it was real I took down the phone number and was going to call tomorrow but then I desided to look up the name of the company which is Northwest Securities Inc. and thats when I found this website. I just want to say that I am 20 with alot of Dreams and Goals an feel like wow cause I thought I had gotten a break in todays costly world but I should have known it was to good to be true...
