After reading this letter and looking at this "check" that was so detailed that my bank did not notice that it is a fake....I called the number on the letter and talked to Mrs. James, which she then instructed me to cash the check and send the money to Mr Robert Nazarro in Toronto, Ontario Canada who was the tax officer, and then to call her back with a reference number and as soon as that happened that she would release my winnings by check or right into my bank account.
Thank goodness for this site I DID NOT send any money and if this check happens to be real ( my bank has it right now) then I am keeping the money. I am planning to call this lady when I get home and tell her I reported her and will do all I can to get this stopped.
