TD TRUST FINANCIAL SERVICES USA Mega International Sweepstake USA Mega International Sweepstakes...Canada/ Global offices USA, Germany,Hong-Kong,Ecuador,South Africa, Spain, and Sydney, Other
I received a letter from TD Trust Financial Services stating that I had won $450,000.00 (second place category of the USA Mega International Sweepstakes) and a check for $4,500.00. The check was supposed to be used to pay the taxes on the money that I had won. I was instructed in the letter to call my claims agent John Lucas @ 1-877-513-9446 to start the activation process. I called Mr. Lucas and was instructed to deposit the check in my account and then call him back. I deposited the check and called him back. When I called him back he instructed me to withdrawl the money and get a moneygram with it and send it to Mary Lancelot @ 301 Gerrald Griffin Street, Galway Ireland. This was my stopping point. I immediately called my bank and discussed this matter with them and followed their instructions on what to do next. The bank representative told me that this happens all the time. The checks look so real. What happens is some people actually withdrawl the money and send it to them, sadly once the check returns to the bank as a fraud, the person is stuck oweing the bank that money.
The name of the Promotion Manager was Paul Sanders.
At the bottom of the letter it listed Global Offices: USA, Germany, Hong-Kong, Ecuador, South Africa, UK, and Spain.
Also, previous to this incident I had received several bogus emails from the above listed countries stating that I had won money or someone was trying to contact me in regards to winning money or either some story stating that someone wanted to give me some money. On all the emails I was asked for personal information such as name, address, phone number, occupation, etc... PLEASE BEWARE PEOPLE ARE OUT TO GET YOU HOWEVER THEY CAN!!!

This is a scam, you get a fake check and while waiting for it tto clear you send out REAL MONEY(usualy by Western Union) they cash it THEN the check bounces and YOU"RE STUCK.
Wait until that check comes back, (If it ever does) THEN PROCEDE, bet they'll be calling you wanting their cash before then.
