this number was a number for me to call a claims agent in reference to a phony letter that said id won 250,000. and needed to call for further instructions.which of course was , deposit the enclosed check for 4,890.00 to pay nonresident government service tax to a tax agent named Jana Henderson by moneygram. then he said after i deposited the check to call him back for further details about my winnings...the whole time i was on the phone, his little dog was yapping and I could hear a tv on...real business like right? right! Now I just want to call him over and over just to piss him off daily for trying such a scam....please dont fall for this...and report him to the authorities as i will be doing...his name is Gerry Smith and the co name is P.T.B. financial services inc. 1004 airport rd St John NF Canada...he also kept telling me how important it was to not share my letter with anyone because they might try to claim my winnings, how about they might tell me its a scam like I found out by researching this so called sweepstakes association of North America.
I too have received the exact same letter. Along with a check of 4,980.00 I think that all the people who have received this letter should get together and bring a stop to this! I will be speaking with a close friend of mine today, who happens to be a lawyer, to see what can be done. To all the people who have received this letter in the mail, PLEASE do not deposit or cash this phoney check. It will only come back non-sufficent and the [***] scam artist will benifit from your loss! Get a real job Gerry Smith!
i got the same letter except the name on mine was frances lawson and the promotions manager was franklin pleus.it was drawn off of frost bank in arlinton texas. real bank fake account number :( mine was kind of convincing because i do donate regularly to charity so i figured hey maybe i did win...but i will e reporting this to the propper authorities.. thanks for all the posts on here that made me realize how low people really are. thanks again
