Waterhouse Securities Inc. The company got my high hopes up letting me believe I won $250,000 along with a check of $4,980 just to be let down. I called the bank of which the check was to have been made to verify. The check is no good. Morriston Ontario
I received notice in my "late" husband's name that he had won the Shoppers Sweepstakes from Waterhouse Securities Inc from Ontario, Canada. We were to have won $250,000 and they sent a check of $4,980 to be used only for paying a tax fee of $2,995 to be paid by only Western Union or Moneygram.
I felt it was definitely a great scam, so I called the Bryan Bank & Trust in Richmond Hill, Ga. to verify this check. Naturally, I was advised these checks are just no good. When I asked why this was going on, they had no idea. It sure would be nice to have that money, though, for sure.
So many others are set up like this. Fortunately, the majority of us try to investigate. This company should be caught up with and put in prison if the people could be located.
The contact name on the letter of March 6, 2009 us 'Lewis McGregor' with assumed number of 1-416-824-2795 and another number of 1-905-598-5374.
Neither of these numbers may take anymore messages. Imagine that!
A 'Mary Peters' is to be the Promotion Manager.
My heart is out to those who really believe in this hoax.
I have also had the '416' number on my house phone numerous times in the past. It didn't hurt for me to verify things for sure.

this company probably had nothing to do with the scam either. The bad guys intentionally pick a company that you've heard of to try to play on your "it's got to be real" belief. The bad guy is this report is the person that you were suppose to forward the money to. Your report should be on them not on Waterhouse.
