Royal British Lotto, Angela Jones Of Zenith Financial Management Group ripoff i called angela jones to see if the check was real she insured me it was i went to cash the check and was embarassed when they told me it was not real i looked really bad and did not want to show my face anywhere else West Saskatoon Saskatchewan
On October 18, 2006 i received a check and letter in the mail saying that i had won a lotto. The check was for $2,995.60. The letter was informing me that i was choosen along with 23 other people in the Royal British Random Lotto. It stated that i was approved for $115,500 minus $7,854(sponsors commission) and that i would receive $107,646.00. I was told to call my agent which was Angela Jones, of Zenith Financial Management Group at 310 CIRCLE DR.WEST, SASKATOON,SK an accredited agency to British Random Lotto and she would give me further details.When i called her my first question to her was if this was real and was it a scam. She told me that this was indeed real and i was to go to my bank and cash the check, go to the nearest western union or money gram and send $2,844.50 to Lillian Hackshawin at 8275 Calgary Alberta in Canada. I then started thinking why was i sending the money to another place and not Angela Jones. I went to the bank the next day to cash the check.
I was told that the check was going to be put on a 14 day hold. I then said i needed to get the money to canada as soon as possible because i had won the lotto. The bank then told me that the lotto was a scam and the check was a fake. They then began explaining it to me and pulled out a thick stack of checks that had been returned for the same scam. I was devastated and embarrased. The bank then told me they were going to send the check to the collection agency in Raleigh to insure that the check was fake. I then want home and called Angela Jones back and told her what the bank had told me. She then said that she don't know why the bank told me the lotto was a scam and that the check was fake. She also stated that other people had already sent their money and received their winnings. Angela then said she was going to talk to her manager, give me a call and then send me another check. She has not called yet. Help put an end to these scams.

Common sense

Think about this. If you had won all that money, why do you need to send in any money at all to them?? Why wouldn't they just deduct the amount they want you to send back, from the big bonanza you just won. If it doesn't make sense, it probably isn't true. (Words from Judge Judy). So many people are falling for these scams. I know sometimes people will forget all common sense, thinking they just hit the jackpot, when the reality is, the only people getting rich, are the ones people are sending money to. You know, the big SCAMMERS. And of course she is going to tell you the check is real. Why would a total stranger out to scam you, lie to you? Look at your States General Attorney website. They list all the known scams. New ones pop up everyday, but it is up to you, to protect yourself.

Did you ENTER a lottery?

Did you enter the "Royal British Lotto"? And if you call the person running a scam and ask them if its a scam, what do you think they are going to say? At least it sounds like the banks are finally catching on and placing 14 day holds. If you had deposited and withdrew the money to send off, you would have been liable for the amount of the check when it came back as counterfeit. And WHY would you call her back after the trip to bank?
