Lotto-Link Global-Link Lotto Fraudulent Check - Won $120,000 USD - Deception - Scam Ripoff Amsterdam Prince Edward Island
It took us two hours to finally figure out that the Company Check we had in hand from the University of Wisconsin was a fake. We called the phone numbers as instructed to claim the winnings, and collected all the information we needed to record. We were told to cash the check, take it to a western union and send it to a "Samantha Cross". Once the cash was sent we were to call back and give the person the Control Number for the western union for "Verification". Once the person received the control number, the alledged balance of $120,000.00 was to be mailed to us. The problem being, the check is a fake, and if you deposit the check, and sent the cash, the check will bounce back and YOU are responsible for the $1998.00 dollars. In addition, criminal charges can be filed against YOU for passing bad checks. We have filed reports with the Local Police Department, The District Attornies office as well as interviewed with the Local News Channel (It was on TV). We kept all copies on file, also Expect charges to be filed. Our intention, Catch them, make them pay everyone as indicted by the letter. They will think twice about doing it again.

I'm sure the people working on this are aware, but that's a Vancouver area cell phone number. Western Union doesn't care what address is on the Money Transfer. It can be picked up anywhere by someone with "appropriate" ID and knowledge of the name, address, money transfer control number.
