NO PHONE CALL CAME TO ME - JUST A LETTER
with a check for $3950.00 drawn on a bank in Omaha, NE from a Fortune Financial Inc., 1950 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas TX 75207. Letter says is firts payment of $100K winning. Need to call this phone number to have check unlocked before cashing/depositing. Then says we will get remainder of money and tax clearance letter within 48 hours after "handling fees have been paid". My guess is that the handling fees is the check I got in the first place to cash for them and then lose my money some how. I did call the number and left a message but have not yet gotten a call back but will update when I do.

I recieved the same letter, I called and the guy seem to get aggravated when I questioned the company and said the system was down. He went and said to call back on Monday around 10:00. I called back Monday (today) at 10:00 and he seemed very agitated because I ask him how I won. With a deep Indian Accent he tried to explain but I did not get anything he said. I further looked at the check and it had a misspelled address ( Dellas, TX 75207) I found that fishy. I knew for a fact that there isn't a Dellas Texas and if the check was legit there would not be any error. So I google the zip code to find out that it was the zip for Dallas Texas. I am suprised that banks that have deposit this check never looked into this scam.
I guess these guys are all over. I received a 3 page customer service evaluator letter and a "cheque" for $4,685.17 informing me to deposit in my account and to Money Gram $3,930 to person named above. the service and miscellaneous charges which was $180 will have to wired, too. The letter also stated I will be paid $575.17; which would be the balance after money is disbursed, for probational training to be a shadow shopper. The letter looks very legit as well as the check. But I know its a scam, as well. There was a phone# located on the address heading, so I called from a payphone about 10p and got a brief unprofessional voicemail of a heavy accented possibly west indian voice saying thank u for callin Shadow Shopper but we're closed. Call back tomorrow. Thank U. ---" I mean how LAME is that. Thank God I did'nt fall for it. I reported it to the FBI. They said mail a copy to the complaint bureau. The phone # is 204-951-7812. BEWARE ALL.
