United Fiduciary Trustees - Julia White - Cindy Ashworthy "The Big Game" USA MEGA MILLIONS Lottery Scam New York, New York
Received a check-A very REAL check- along with a letter from United Fiduciary Trustees, Inc. Stating that I had won $250K. The check was for $4980.40. The bank was La Salle National Bank (now Bank of America) the company name was F&M Corporation from Tulsa Oklahoma. I was to call Julia White at 647-885-2092 from the Accounts Office. I called but got a full mail box then called again and spoke to "Julia" who informed me that this was for real, that I had won $250K and that the check was just the initial installment on my winnings. I was to deposit in my bank and call her. She would then set up a FedEx delivery of my $245+K check.
Yes, I know that this is a scam and that it has been out there for years, and years. But in the letter and in the phone conversation was nothing about sending in any money at any time. I was told the check was just the first installment to get my claim process started and that all taxes were to be paid by me. All the scams like this that I have read about or heard about were mostly about email prize notifications. Not by mail and definitely not with a "REAL" check and especially not having some statement about having to wire money or the scammer not telling me I had to pay money to anyone. This was a new twist and I was almost fooled. Luckily, before we left for the bank we made a few calls, and did some searches on the internet. Never been scammed, this was very insidious and sly. I was going to go ahead and deposit it and not touch the money and definitely not send any money to anyone but after checking the routing number on the check and found it to be fake, I decided against it. But I am mad. I want these people stopped before someone else gets scammed. I feel lucky that we figured it out before we went to the bank but it was very close.
I am filing this report because in all my research I have only found one other post on the internet regarding United Fiduciary Trustees, Inc. The letter has a New York address and phone but it rings busy or just clicks. The other phone is a cell phone out of Ontario, Canada. I hope this report helps someone else who gets one of these letters and checks to not be fooled.
