The only way to get these scams stopped, is to REPORT THEM!!!!Contact the "fraud division" of the following: 1) US mail Service----1-877-876-2455 or postalinspectors.uspis.gov 2)Federal Trade Commission----1-877-832-4357 3) your local BBB 4)your local Attorney General's office It takes some of your time to do this, however if you truely want to help protect others, it will be worth it!!!

United Financial Systems is just as much a victim of this scam as anyone else. Somehow our bank account information was obtained and utilized in furtherance of the lottery scam. As such, we have taken the necessary steps to both prevent any further fraudulent activity on this account, as well as to insure that the authorities have as much information as possible to catch, and prosecute the thieves. We are not affiliated with ING Direct of Ontario, nor any of the individuals listed in the letter. We did not approve, permit or sanction the use of our bank account. The use of the name United Financial Systems, Inc. also was not approved or sanctioned in this activity. I am happy that Lynne of E. Galesburg, IL recognized that this was a scam and did not fall victim to it. I hope that others will be as vigilant. At the risk of being redundant, United Financial Systems, Inc. had absolutely nothing to do with this scam and will not honor any fraudulent checks associated with same.

You thought it was too good to be true and took the time to check it out first. Those who fall for it - see free money and run with it. Then come here and whine about being ripped off without ever taking any personal responsibility for their own actions or lack of action that resulted in them being ripped off.
