De-Lotto North American Sweepstakes Sent a letter to me with a bogus check for $4,875 Toronto Ontario
On Oct. 27 I received a letter from Universal Rewards & Trust in Toronto. The letter stated that I had won $125,000 in a sweepstakes that I have never heard of. The letter contained a check for $4,875 made out to me.
I was instructed to call them before depositing the check, which I did. I was told that when I deposited the check, I was to call them back. It seemed fishy to me, so I asked them how I had won this money. I was given an answer that it had to do with a drawing conducted through several companies, notably Walgreen's and CVS.
I then called a toll-free number for CVS and was told that it was a scam and that after I deposited the check, $2,875 would be withdrawn from it and sent to a so-called "tax agent" and then the check would bounce. Then the money would be taken out of my account. I read in one report that their check was from a bank in New York. Mine was from a bank in Portland, Maine. Needless to say, after talking to CVS, I did not deposit the check.
