SWITZERLAND LOTTERY!!!!!!!!!
I recieved a check for $2990.00 from Sierra Atlantic, Inc. 6522 Kaiser Dr. Fremont CA 94555. The bank was Comerica Bank. The letter I got with the check said I was a third category winner and that I won $65,000.00 from the Switzerland Lottery. They sent me the $2990.00 for the tax and clearance fee. I called the information on the bottom of the letter: Victor Arnolds of Sierra Financial Management group, subsicidiary of Switzerland Trust Corporation, 9001 Lake Ave. Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H1C7 1-780-695-4351. I didn't talk to Victor because he was on the other line but I did talk to a lady named Kendra Beattles. She wanted me to deposit the check in my account or cash it at a check cashing place ASAP and then go get a moneygram for $2800.00 and send it to Joanne Miller 1000 Jefferson Ave Nova Scotia, CANADA B2R1W1. I took it to my bank and asked them about it...they let me know that it is a scam and if I were to deposit it in my account I would be responsible for it. They had alot of scams just like this one that are about the lottery.

2006-09-05 15:35:18 -
How does this scam work? The check looks real. The letter tells me I have won $250,000.00. Called and called. Answering machine full. The woman's accent isn't Canadian. What is going on?

Don't cash any of the checks! I received one, tought it was bogus, calle the comapny it was drawn on, they said the check was valid, went to wells fargo, they said the check was on a closed account. I called the comapny back, they told me that they had to close the account because someone was cashing bogus checks and that they would be sending me another one, but if I wanted to cash the check at my bank they would honor the check. this is total bs. so I turned the check and the letter I received with it to the police and they said if I did get another check from this comapny to just give it to them and they would investigate it.
Also on another note, if you do cash the check at your bank. When the check comes back bounced, they will expect you to pay all the money back, also charge you for a returned check fee, returned deposit fee and then lock your account for 2 weeks or more while they investigate YOU to make sure you are no the one writing the counterfit checks.

DONT CASH THE CHECKS!!!! IT IS ALL A SCAM!!!!!!!

Anybody who has the same letter like this? Scam?

DEAR FRIEND,

MY NAME IS MR KINGSLEY DAVID ,I AM THE BRANCH MANAGER OF THE ZENITH
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF NIGERIA LAGOS STATE BRANCH. I AM WRITING IN
RESPECT OF A FOREIGN CUSTOMER OF MY BANK (MR.WAHAB DANIEL)AN
INDUSTRIALIST WITH ACCOUNT NUMBER ATS1022002-109 WHO PERISHED WITH HIS
FAMILY IN AN AUTO CRASH IN ABUJA EXPRESWAY,IN NIGERIA, ON THE 30TH OF
NOVEMBER 2001.

SINCE THE DEMISE OF MR DANIEL,I PERSONALLY HAVE WATCHED WITH KEEN
INTEREST TO SEE THE NEXT OF KIN BUT ALL HAS PROVED ABORTIVE AS NO ONE
HAS COME TO CLAIM HIS FUNDS OF USD$6,230,000 (SIX MILLION,TWO HUNDRED
AND THIRTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)HAS BEEN WITH OUR BANK HERE
FOR A VERY LONG TIME, WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED SOME INTEREST.

ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR YOU, YOUR NAME SHALL BE USED AS THE
NEXT OF KIN,AS NO ONE HAS COME UP TO PUT A CLAIM AS HIS NEXT OF KIN TO
THIS FUNDS AND THE BANKING ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO
STAY MORE THAN FIVE YEARS,BECUASE AFTER FIVE YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE
CALLED BACK TO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.

I AM CONVINCED IN MY MIND THAT YOUR NAME COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT OF
KIN TO THIS CLAIM.THE REQUEST OF THE FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF KIN IN THIS
BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER
AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER .THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK WILL BE WILLING TO APPROVE THIS PAYMENT TO ANY
FOREIGNER WHO HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION OF THIS ACCOUNT WHICH I GAVE
TO YOU.

I HAVE AGREED TO SHARE THIS MONEY WITH YOU IN THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
OF 60% TO ME AND 35%(about $1.5million US Dollars) TO YOU .5% WILL BE
FOR EXPENSES BOTH PARTIES MAY INCURE DURING THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERRING
THIS MONEY,THEREAFTER I WILL COME TO YOUR COUNTRY, FOR
DISBURSEMENT/SHARING THIS MONEY AS I AM ALMOST DUE FOR RETIREMENT AND
WISH TO GOING INTO ACTIVE BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

THEREFORE TO ENDEAVOUR THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THIS FUNDS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT,YOU HAVE TO APPLY FIRST TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE
DESEASED INDICATING BY SENDING A LETTER OF CLAIM TO THE BANK .

I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS HITCH
FREE AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED
ARRANGEMENT AS BEEN PERFECTED FOR THE TRANSFER.
