Just today I hear of someone who received the same letter with a check for $4,685.00. JPMorgan Chase Bank, Syracuse, NY Claim Agent Allen Newman @1 604-652-3975. Check looks valid. However if you make a black and white copy you will see "void" stamped all over. Also note that a normal check has the routing number first, then the checking account and finally the check number printed at the bottom. These fake does not follow this pattern. Don't be fooled. I think they are after your back account number!
No phone call, just a letter and a check for $4800.00 to help pay taxes on $485,000.00 I supposedly won through the International Sweepstake Organization. I'm supposed to call my agent Bob Steven's (that's how it's spelled) @1778-223-5703. Not supposed to do a thing until I talk to Bob.
Letterhead says
Goldrain Financial Inc.

Check looks amazingly legit. with the following printed on the check face.

I just received in the mail today 4/12/10, the exact same letter from GoldRain Financial Inc. of Canada stating that I had won a second prize of $485,000 in a sweepstakes contest. What can we do relative to this scxam?
