You letter sounds identical to mine except my Account Officer's name is "Julia White" and the letter was signed by Cindy Ashworthy. The 647 area code was from a cell phone in Ontario Canada. Our letter seemed to come at a suspiciously opportune time for us as well. What was so different about my letter compared to most of the other letters I have researched was the fact that the letter and "Julia" didn't say anything about having to send any money anywhere. She even told me that all I had to do was deposit the check, let her know that it was deposited and then sit back and wait for FedEx to deliver my over $245K check and then it was between me and the IRS to deal with the taxes. I wonder, did your letter or did "Monique" say anything to you about having to send any money to someone? Luckily before we left for the bank, I made some phone calls and searched the internet and found something on the USA Mega Bucks "The Big Game" website with samples of scam letters and sure enough, alot of the wording was very similar. She also told me that my win was part of the Reader's Digest Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. So I called them and if you win they send the prize patrol....so What a disappointment. But like you now, I'm MAD! Almost all the scams I found any info about besides the Nigerian scam, originate out of Canada. I don't understand why the Canadian government or someone in the US isn't doing something to catch these scum and stop them from ripping off hard working people.
