I am a police officer and have run into this scam quite a bit. I am currently prosecuting a woman charged with forging one of these checks for $3900. We have no leads on the company, the Feds deal with issues like that (NBC Dateline too I suppose.) Throw these types of letters in the trash!
i lied and told mr ron clark that i had deposited the check for 3900.00. i did not deposit it and it is drawn on bank of america in illinois. i called them and i a have a florida address to send a copy of the check. he told me to money gram a money to: "alice watson" 125 john st, milton, ontario canada. if you contact me i will fax you a copy of the lette and the check for 3900.00 i received. i would like to see them caught and will help you any way i can.
I CALLED 1-416-834-8313 TO CLAIM MY MONEY THEN I WAS GIVEN THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS. BANK OF AMERICA SAID NO ROUTING OR ACCOUNT NUMBERS ON THAT CHECK EXISTS.
We received the same letter, but our check was for 1900. The letter came from International Award Presentation or International Claims unit at 185 Shaw St
Niagra Falls.
Quite the scam. Yvette Bodkins is on the letter in additon to Ron Clark. Australian Swsweepstakes lottery program scam!
My cousin just got a check for 1900.00 from the same sweepstakes. I keep trying to tell her that this is a scam, but she does not beleive me. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!
