:End Letter:
When I called to inquire, "Lexie Wilberman" could neither tell me exactly where my "tax agent was located" nor any information to verify the validity of the letter, contest, or company. She claims the program has no website and also could not name the store which I supposedly gave my name and address to at the checkout which entered my information into this sweepstakes. She claimed there were several stores that pooled their money for contest winners and that I could only find out which store I entered my name at AFTER I cashed my check, paid my taxes to my "tax agent" and my claim was closed. She urged me to get this done before the end of the week so they could get me my winnings before December 23rd. She spoke very quickly, was unable to give me any solid information and urged me to cash my check as soon as possible, call back and get the location of my "tax agent" so I could pay my taxes, send them proof of doing so and get the rest of my winnings. What a scam!
