Zurich And Shaw Financial Group - Mr. Kingsley Dean - Mrs. Sylvia Park - Lindsay Foster You recieve a check for about $3000.00 and are later asked to send a money gram to someone in order to recieve the rest of your winnings. The check that you recieved earlier, later bounces and you lose both ways. ripoff Regina Saskatchewan
This company sent me a check for $2989.00 which I deposited into my bank account thinking that I had won some sort of drawing. It had said in the letter that I had in fact won. The check to me looked legit so I took it to my bank and deposited it.
When I arrived home and read more on the letter I realized at the bottom of the letter I was supposed to call this phone number before I deposited the check. So I called them but they were closed for the day. I waited until the next morning and I spoke to them.
The letter read that I had won $46,500.00 in a lottery drawing. I was in shock, I called the company and they verified that for me. They asked me for the check number but I did not give it to them. They asked me for my name and the conformation number on the letter (62006). The man I spoke to said to call him once I had deposited the check and it has cleared into my bank account. I called him back about an hour later because being that I deposited it the day before, it had already cleared. He than told me that all I had to do was send a money gram to:
Lindsay Foster
752 10th Ave
Calgary, Alberta
T2R 08A9
In the amount of $2600.00. Immediately when he told me that I thought SCAM!! So I told him I would go to the store and do it in about an hour but I actually went on the BBB's website and looked up the company and found out about this whole scam. I called the Canadian BBB and they referred me to call the Phone Buster's. So I did that and filed a complaint to them.
This company is ripping people off and I fell victim to them.
Here is some further information about the company if this is helpful:
