Liberty Trust Financial Corporation Bogus "Award Claim Final Notification" of $250,000.00 lottery prize pool held on 4/2/07 Ottawa Ontario Canada
I got the same letter as a person who filed a report to your site on 6/23/07. My letter also claims I've won $125,000.00. The letter states that "due to the mix up of numbers and names, the results were released on the 9th of April and my name had attached to ticket number 743-2876-634 with serial number 5432-46, which drew the lucky numbers of 5-10-32-24-14-28, approving me for the lump sum payout of $125,000.00.
Same contacts: Sandra or Mike, same instructions to "deposit the check enclosed in the letter and wait 48 hours, then call back".
Noticeably in the letter are typos such as "kanata" Avenue instead of Kanata; Congratulation!!!! instead of Congratulations!!!. Also, the legal address system, using the Country of origin (duh, I'm assuming Canada????) and postal code that even Canada uses obviously missing.
The letter is on run-of-the-mill, plain copy paper that can be produced on any copier in the world; includes no embossing or anything whatsoever that makes the letter look official in any way.
The envelope is of the same poor quality as the paper the letter is written on and contains no return address.
The check itself, reads "MLFJ" (I'm assuming the company's name, 15834 La Grange Rd, Orlando Park, IL 60462; drawn on "CHARTER ONE" bank, "ORLAND HILLS, IL"; bank number "6-7041/2410", check number 23859, signed by "D (no period) B-(u or w)-t-(i?)-h-(r or n)". Bank routing numbers are "023859" [space]":241070417"[space]4500107583", with a line reading "U.S. Patents 5538290, 5575508, 5641183, 5785383, 5984363, and 6030000.
Is there anything more obviously fraudulent than this? Should we report this or take the envelope to the US Postal Service or do anything else with it other than put it in the garbage?
The sad part is that my wife actually called the guy and wants to deposit the check! PLEASE respond to this report by acknowledging that "If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck; it MUST be a duck, before my wife gets us into something much larger than we can handle; that can cause unimaginable financial problems; and, more than likely give "Mike", "Sandra" or this "MLFJ" yahoo named "D-whatever their name is" access to information that is guaranteed to cause more problems than this middle-class family can afford!

I got the same exact letter and check except the bank on the check was HSBC BANK.... they were really helpful on finding out if it was fraud.....But anyway my dad works for the post office and he's taking my letter in to the postal inspectors...so my advice is do the same so some kind of action can be done.....
