Opened my mail box and got a check for $2996.80. Was excited at first, then read the letter. Imperial Foundation Lotto, United Random Draws, Award Certificate. Basicly the letter was to informed me that I won the Imperial Foundation Lotto held in Dublin, Ireland. (I have never played the lottery in another country) so I read on.
I was suppose to deposit this check into my bank account, then turn around and send a money order or casheirs check to North America Agent for the amount of $2845.00. Well the check is for $2996.80 (to assist me in my finance international clearance fees) and im suppose to send them a check for $2845.00 which is for my clearance fee. Warning bells went off in my head. Supposely I will receive a total of $120,000.00 minus $6000.00 (which is 5% Sponsor's Commission.) Invariably, I will receive a total of $114,000.00.
Now warning bells are really going off in my head. I was suppose to contact my claim agent, a Cassandra Bryd, of Alpha Financiers, an Accredited agency to Imperial Foundation Lotto at 1-204-952-8423. At the bottom of the letter it says "Note that all prizes must be claimed not later than February 8, 2007. We therefore strongly advise that you keep this award highly confidenial as part of our security protocol until your winning has been processed and money remitted to you.
Well instead I went to my trusty little computer and typed in Imperial Foundation Lotto in the search engine. And imange my surprise, when I found a whole lot of sites saying RIP OFF, Counterfeit.
So BEWARE people when you receive a check for the amount of $2996.80, and they want you to send them a money order or cashier check for $2845.00, DON'T DO IT, don't call them, just call a lawyer, or file a report on this web site.
The check is COUNTERFEIT, THE COMPANY IS A RIP OFF, and if you do deposit the check, then send them a money order or cashiers check for $2845.00, then your world is going to go up side down. When the check comes back as counterfeit, then your bank is going to have a field day with you, charging you, fees up the yang yang, all because there are a LOT of DISHONEST people that are money hungry, and try to RIP US OFF!! Don't let it happen to you, BEWARE !!
