I also received this number to call in a Final Prize Notification letter I just received dated 05/13/2009. Same script but for a different Sweepstakes Name (VARIETY CLAIMS LTD for Variety Lottery) out of Canada, it also contained a very real looking check from SIEBERT BRANDFORD SHANK & CO. LLC from PNC BANK, N.A. in Philadelphia. I think this sucks, with today's economy the way it is, we want so bad for this to be the real deal and your mind may tell you to cash the check but please do some research first, I did. If in doubt call the bank on the check and give the routing numbers to see if the check is valid. So please don't believe the hype until you have researched every avenue.
This number came in a letter as the one to call with what is obviously a scam from GOLDEN REWARDS SERVICES LTD.HALIFAX CANADA. The kind iof letter with 'Dear Lucky winner. We are pleased to inform you that a lump sum amount of #!%,00 have been entrusted to us as your SWEEPSTAKE PRIZE... and included is a rather legitimate looking check which is for the non residential tax you are supposed to pay from the slightly larger amount.. You know the scam. Just ignore.
