Star Capital Securities Scam called North American Shoppers Sweepstakes Chatham Ontario
I was sent a letter with a 4875.00 check. The letter said I had won SWEEPSTAKES for 125,000 dollars. I called the claims agent (Carol Armstrong),she said to deposit check. I did and I waited for it to clear. It did and then called her back. She then requested the amount of 2975.00 to be sent to a tax agent.(Dotts Burns).
I sent the 2975.00 figuring if it was a scam I would not be out any money. I then called back. Carol then informed me that there was a state tax of 1610.00. This seemed odd but still not out many money. I ask point blank would there be any other payments do in order to get this check. Her reply---nothing else would be required and she would fedex the check for next day. I sent the amount requested.
Not more that 1 hour later I get a call. Guess who? Carol Armstong..... wanting me to pay duty on the fedex letter. amount 1589.00 I told her that you pay duty on Items not letters. (At least I think it would have to be a consumable). At this point I did not comply with the request.
I am not out any money, But BEWARE if you see this past your way.
A little foot note I looked up the addresses in ottawa,, they dont exist.

What do you mean by you're "not out any money" ????? You are out EVERY CENT you sent to Canada. When that check bounces, and YES, it will bounce, your bank will want ALL of it back. If you can't come up with it, they will have you arrested and inprisoned for bank fraud. Geeezzzzzz. You are a scammer's dream come true.

You will be out the money when that check comes back as fradulant. YOU could even be arrested for passing a bad check. WAKE UP. use some common sense. You can not win a contest you have not entered. You better wise up to the ways of the world or you will continue to be scammed, if you are not in jail for cashing that check.
