Life Investors Insurance Company of America sent a check in the amount of $4988.00, stating it was to aid in the mandatory paymen of Non-Canadian Residential Tax, insurnace and delivery charges pertaining to your $250,000 winning. It states this was drawn out of a computer database, from shopping at major retailers like Target, Walmart, Sears, Macy's, and Home Depot.
My claim number was ABC-877430-GF.
The letterhead is a copy, and a poor copy at that. The envelope has no return address and came from Canada, BUT, the check looks very, very real. The letter states to contact a claim agent and tax agent--and has legitimate phone numbers, but when it's too good to be true--it is.
I hope others don't fall for this. I would hate to see someone go out and purchase a large ticket item thinking they have these funds.
