This "company" sent me the above letter with a check for $2,895.00. Upon calling the number on the letter I was told to cash the check and moneygram $2,700 of it to a specific bonds officer, Clarissa Kotzer, to cover fees for transfering my winnings through customs. The extra money on the check from the company was to cover the fee of transfering the money through moneygram.
I was told that once that money was transfered I would recieve a check within 72 hours for $144,000, which would be my complete winnings after tax. Olivia Sanders is the woman who handled my information and questions when I did call the number for the main payment office. She only answered one of the many times that I tried to call, and usually she ended up calling me back from a different number.
