I received a letter in the mail with no return address. Inside was a letter with President Choice Financial letterhead. It had a claim number and dated the 8th of December, 2009. Final Notice of Winning, of the CUSTOMERS COMPENSATION DRAW for Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Kohl's, Kmart, etc. Says a ticket posted in my name was drawn, and entitles me to $100,000.00 to be delivered by FedEx.
Enclosed was a cashiers check in the amount of $3,700.00 from SunTrust and letter said I was required to use some money from this check to pay for Government applicable taxes and insurance fees on my winnings. Letter said I was to contact Michael Holding or Grace Moore to activate my check and for further instructions. The letter was signed by Brenda Fawcett, president.
I received this on a saturday and called to ask about it. Michael Holding answered the phone and I said "Yes, I received a letter in the mail regarding a compensation draw." He asked me to call back on monday, as they were short staffed. I was very suspicious from the moment I opened the letter, as I have heard of scams where they ask you to cash the check and then return some of the money.
