R.I.B.C Financial Services I got a $4,610 check in the mail today, was hoping it was a scholarship... I'm thinking it's a scam. Brandon Manitoba Canada
I got a check in the mail today for $4,610 saying that I won a Compensation Lottery Draw A for stores in Canada, and if I use the check to pay the Non- Resident Government Service Tax then I would receive $250,000. My first instinct was that this was a scam, but the check looks just like a check you'd receive from work etc...
I researched the business on the actual check and it seemed to be completely legitimate but after researching the company on the letterhead it seems that this is a scam. I'm only a senior in high school so I'm wondering how I even got in the midst of this type of thing, but my dad said that the minute you deposit this check in your account they tap into your account information and just totally ruin it or just even mess it all up. I'm glad I found this site so I didn't attempt this.

Depositing it would do more than give them your account info and mess you up!! The check would bounce and your bank would be calling to tell you they want their money back!! You're young, so wise up now to the fact that there are countless numbers of people who want to screw you over!
