Most likely fraudulent. A scam to either get your account info if you deposit the check, and money if you are naive enough to wire the tax money. Most banks won't put a hold on a check under 5000.00 so a trusting person thinks he bank credited it to their account. Must be real. So they send the 2900.00, spend the rest, and then the check is returned from Chase
fraudulent" and they are in a heap of trouble! NSF fees, bounced checks, and the bank reports them to chexsystems... it can financially ruin someone. My advice, take the check to Chase. They should be able to verify it. And if it is legit make sure they memo post cash it and don't put your account info on it anywhere.
no call but got a letter from Fidelity Global Inc. stating I wom the lottery called the # on the letter was told to deposit the check and to call back, what a joke!!!
No call but a letter from Fidelity Global, Inc. stating that I'm a winner of the National Lotto Co-Operation Sweepstakes Lottery. Gives a P.O. in Baton Rouge on the check and the letter, but on the letter there is another address in Canada.
I recieved one of this letter stating that I won a prize in the amount of 150K. A check was sent in the amount of $4978.99 as partial disbursement to pay taxes. I was to call the tax agent at the 289 number to get tax information from the tax agent Nancy Bakek. Instructed to call her within 5 days. I felt compel to investigate because I had not bought a Lotto ticket. Never have in my life and I'm 57 years old. The person signing signature did not match the person's name a the bottom Mrs. Sandra Freeman-Promotion/Claim Manager. Please give some input on this matter.
