I have for nearly two-weeks received telephone calls from Jamaica. wi, one name was Devon Reece, Lucia Hanover, Jamica W.I. #1-876-337-9573-Peter Moore or 1-876-343-4783, and 1-876-447-5920 the claims department stated that I have one 2.5 million dollars. They stated the the check is sitting at Global International and is written off of commerce bank. They informed me that they have paid forthe insurance on the check to cover if the check is lost or stolen, and have paid the taxes to irs. all i need to do is to contact them to let them know if i want the check shipped by ups, fed-ex or dhl. all they are asking for is for me to pay for the shipping & handling of the check delivery when it arrives. I live in NC I need to know if this is a legit. They have even told me that if I did not have the 699.25 for S & h to pay 499.25 and when the check is ok and cleared by the bank to send the remaining $200.00. I asked them could they not pay for the s & h but they stated they had paid for the insurance and the taxes. They have not ask for any personal information.

I recieved a letter from Lottery Resources Management & Payment Verification 110-11780 Hammersmith Way Richmond, BC V7A 5E9 NorthAmerican Sweepstakes Lottery. They sent me a cheque for $2298.00 and told me to call Anthtony Reid Promotion Manager before I attempt to negotiate the cheque. I called and had to leave a message and I did and they have never called me back. So I called the bank the the cheque was from and asked if the ckeck was real and she told me the cheque was real and the funds were available. So I deposited the cheque into an account I do not use very often and I am going to wait and see. The bank is real. I called inofrmation and got the number and I looked them up on the net. I have no intentions in sending the money back. I sent a certified letter giving instructions on how to send the rest of my winnings via certified cheque to the same address they sent the first cheque. I informed them that in the US the taxes are paid from the winner not the lottery. I also forwarded the information to the District Atterony's office.

I received a check today also. Did you call the number on the letter? I did and spoke to someone. She said I had to moneygram the taxes on the money I won. I was told from a friend to take the check to a check cashing place and pay the fees to cash the check. In the letter I received along with the check. It says I am one of 36 winners. It was a sweepstakes drawing held on 12/30/05. I don't really remember entering anything. Although, I did go to the sportsman show last year and entered a lot of different drawings. It looks and sounds legit, but I am still leary because I would think something like this would come registered mail or something. The other thing is...I have had the same phone number and address for 5 years now. I usually don't answer my phone unless I know who it is. The letter says they have tried several times to contact me. I don't know. I am in financial dire straights. So thois is really a dream come true. Like I said, "I am leary!" What do you all think. Anyone out there acctually cash the check and get their promised winnings?

I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A SCAM FROM OLGC CHECK FOR $4975.00

I have received several scam emails and letters for lotteries, sweepstakes, nigeria, and the newest is purchase my item that is listed for sale in local online newspaper. Regarding the lottery - remember if you did not enter an online or international lottery, you DID NOT win. That goes for sweepstakes too. If anyone wants money to claim a prize, - It is a FRAUD. They are actually sending bank checks that look real saying they are fronting the money for insurance and to cash the check and send it by Western Union to an entirely different country. These are all SCAMS. Call the bank the check is drawn on and describe the check to them. Remember if it seems to good to be true - It probably is. The nigeria scams have been around for a long time. There are several so anything from Nigeria just throw it away. REgarding the item for sale, I received 3 different emails wanting my item. They all said they had a private shipping company that would come for it and that they would send me extra money to not sell it to anyone else. This went on for a couple of months and I finally got a check in the mail for $2,000 more than I was selling the item for and the instructions wanted everything done quickly and again sending the balance through Western Union. Fortunately I knew this was a scam so I did not hold the item and sold to the first person that showed me the cash. I hope this helps someone. Please do not send money to anyone you do not know.

I would like to no how come we have addresses names phone #s and what bank the check comes from but nothing seems to be done about it, in our country or theres and we here just turn the moneys in and then it will go into an investagtion fund. mean while our checking and our credit is totally distroyed and we are as victims called the frauds. and we still are having to pay back the bad check of 3000.00 plus all the bank fees. so no matter how u look at this we are the only losers everyone gets payed and we are whos paying

i received one of those checks for almost 3000.00 from Hayes,seay,mattern and mattern Inc What kind of trouble would I be in for cashing it?
2006-09-26 17:55:56 -
I received one of those checks the other day in the amount of$2,998.80. The name on the check is Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern, Inc.
ARCHITECTS*ENGINEERS*PLANNERS
P.O. Box 13446
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA 24034
This check was sent to me from a co. that calls themselves ROYAL BRITISH RANDOM LOTTO. I called the woman's name AKA-agent, Lisa Edwards and she sounded like a towle-head with rugrats screaming in the background. I got suspicious right away and started searching online for scams. I'm a decendant of many prestigious military people in my family and would really be _issed off if I thought terrorists were getting this money to kill our people. Just think about that my friends before you get caught up in this scam. I'm going to use my check for target practice.
This check might come in handy after all.

I received one check from Lottery Resources Management. It was funny because I called the number yesterday and the voice mail couldn't received my message because the voice mail was full. So I tried this morning and I was able to left a message. Half hour later this lady calls me. I asked her is this was for real and she stated yes. She also told me about the moneygram, person to person attention Richard Guerrero in Ontario, Canada and after I let them know about my reference number I will received via courier my check in about 4 days. I called my husband and then he maybe doubt and start looking in the internet, and sure there it was all your comments. Tried to call the number in the money order but is wrong.
