Reader's Digest Lotto Lump sum payout of $125,000 upon depositing check for $3645.00 and doing a wire transfer back to said company to cover insurance and processing fees. New York, New York
Received plain envelope today post marked Canada with no return address. Much to my surprise there was a check enclosed for $3645.00. Attached letter was on cheap copy paper with a ripped off Reader's Digest logo. The address was 1567 Broadway, New York, NY, 10036. Quick Google search put the address near Music City Hall of Fame I think. The phone number 647-994-1534 came back as a cell phone in Toronto, On.
The letter stated that I had won $125,000 and that Reader's Digest was having problems contacting me. It was very important that I contact them regarding my claim. There was a bunch of lotto numbers with references to drawings and prize slots. Pretty much a bunch of garbage. I was instructed to keep my winning confidential to avoid disqualification.
The last part stats that "the enclosed check for $3645.00 is part your winnings and has been sent to you to help you cover any insurance and processing charges. The total amount is $2981.10 to be paid through Western Union."
The letter then gives office hours and contact information. "Contact Your Agent: Adams Wilson 1-647-994-1534 to activate your claim before you deposit the check at your bank, this is very important." There is then a photo of Tony C. Mino, Vice President, Global Operations.
The check is drawn on BBVA Compass. I have a call into them alerting them to the scam drawing on their bank.
Hope these idiots are sought out and persecuted.
