I would just like to share some information with some of you to clear some stuff up. Do not cash the check that was sent to you. The bank will accept it, but 3-5 days later they will tell you it was sent back. This is how the scammers make their money. This gives them just enough time to have you send the money before the bank detects it. Once you withdrawl the money and send it to their personal acct, they have it and you owe the money back to your bank. Now I deposited it because I was behind on a few bills, but only used $400 and was able to pay it back in a month. Be ware though. I got away with it, and considered it a short "bank loan" but the right thing to do would be to hand it over to the authorities. This way, the more checks they get back, the better chances they have of catching these people. And to the person who was asking about HSBC, it's a large bank in the northeast. Don't question the banks accountability if you get one of these checks. It's not their fault. These scammers have copied or stole checks from that bank and printed tons. Notice they'll send a check from a northeast bank to someone in the south.... it gives them enough time to get their money before your bank even knows what happened. I have gotten many of these checks and have spoken to many people about this. If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to email me. Good luck.

I recieved a check for $2,990.00 and a Certificat of award for completion of the third category draws of the Switzerland Lotto, held at Geneva Switzerland. It stated that the $2,990.00 had been financed with the enclosed check. Kindly deposit or cash the check to pay for your tax and clearance fee. You will receive $65,000.00, which is the winning payout. When trying to contact the phone number on the letter of certified award, there is no answer.

If you cash the check, the bank will find out that the check isa phony and get there money back, by taking the money from your account.

The Group Forum American Clearing House letter is a SCAM!
My check was drawn on Circuit City. I phoned the bank and the account number was correct and a Cricuit City account. When I contacted Circuit City, they informed me no such check had been drawn to me and they were not a sponsor for this purpose.
The phone number in the letter is a Halifax, Nova Scotia internet phone service. The address in Brandon, MB does not exist and the names Morris and Aadams are of course phony.
The FBI will not even take the complaint, so I called it in to Phinebusters in Canada but they won't do anything with it except create a file. Tricking these people is almost impossible as the money pickup could be anywhere in the world.
All of us who received this have a souvenier and that's abount it.
Put out the word

Group Forum American Clearing House is a scam. My check was drawn on Circuit City. I confirmed with the bank the account # was legitimate and funds were good, but in a direct contact with Circuit City, they confirmed no such check was cut and they were not participating as a sponsor in any such venture.
THe FBI can not be bothered, I reported it to Phone busters in Canada but they have no hope of catching these people.
The phone number in the letter is an internet phone service out of Halifax, Nova Scotia and the address on the letter is bogus as are the names of morris and Adams.
Spread the word.

Dear International World Citizens,
I have been taken for $5,500.00. Thee elaborate scheme works like this: They sent me a document in the mail stating that I have won thousands of dollars after being chosen by these so called lucky numbers in the "A" category.
Then of course it is my final notice, they go on to say that the prize is insured, my name will be transfered when all requirements are met. This is mandatory and is meant to satisfy all official laws and protocols as mandated by the American Government ans Australian regulations.
Then it is noted to call LUTHER WILLS, SCOTT MOORE,or FRANCIS MCKAY( all phony of course)once you do that then they explain the check that they have sent. My check the first time sent my name spelled incorrectly, so Scott Moore resends the check for a lesser amount(the first check they sent me was for $7,850.22). This check is supposed help pay for legal insurance or processing fees that may be encountered. Upon calling the bogus reps they are suppose to activate the check.
At the end of the letter they give a bogus breakdown of the processing fee, legal fees, and taxes. The person on the phone I talked to told me that I had won $239,000.0, however, I must pay $23,800.00 in taxes and after the other fees I would get $194,000.00.
So the game began once I deposited the cashier's check in my bank I was instructed to send $2000.00 to London, England to Cloverlee to cover one of the requirements, then the call and give the numbers from the western union transfer. The about two days later I am instructed to send $2500.00 to Rosemary Laidley at 212-1010 Oxford St in London England.
After doing this Scott Moore tells me that they will send me the funds to pay the taxes that will be taken from my so called winnings and of course that package never did come. A few more days go by and I am feeling a little sick, I call his digits, and of course his phone is down. All the numbers on the document are down. Oh so I am real sick, then a few days go by and I check my acount( I check my account daily) however, it finally regeisters -$5,500.00, that damn cashiers check was no good. The bank honored it and cleared it in two days and allowed me to take funds out then only after all that the check is no f-----g good.
Now I am going crazy inside. Those guys have messed with the wrong one because of the true law of cause/effect.
I hope that some how we can as human beings rise above the evil that exists in our world because our world has beauty that some have never experienced. I pray that this never happens to anyone else and the cold hearted individuals that lurk and prey on others will look deep within and find real happiness and leave the rest of us alone.

i received a letter from Evergreen International Lottery Corp Canada saying I won in the lottery 2nd category. the amount is USD85,000 and also there is a check enclosed amounting to USD3200. I already knew this is a scam as it looks too good to be true. so what I'm gonna do is send this letter to the post office. so to the rest of you out there, beware!

I rec'd a letter from 2006 North-American Sweepstakes Lottery held on March 28th, 2006 in the 2nd category, and that I won $250,000. I also rec'd a check with the letter for $4,975.00. I was a little excited but skeptical. The envelope only had my address!! I called the number on the letter for David Watkins 705-770-1914, and a voicemail picked up. It was a man with an accent?!? I won't be cashing it and i will be turning it into my post office. I've read a couple of msg's and it looks like that is were they are all going. If there is another location these should be sent to for further action against these scammers please let me know!!
