These checks are a scam. I took mine to the bank and had them verify it. The account is real, but the checks are fake, and if you cash one, you can also be prosecuted for fraud!!!! BE CAREFUL!!!!!!! Report the checks and info to your States Attorney General!

I also recieved the letter in the mail and a check for 2991.05 and the letter stating I won the Brittish Random Lottery. Letter stating if i sent the 2991 back to Vivian Smith at 2025 University Ave. suite 209 In Montreal Quebec zip h4c2v7. My money cleared , but now i can not get in contact with the man David Fonah to recieve the check of 85,000 I feel this is a huge scam and needs to be investigated.

I've showed 12 ppl now how to cash these checks. INTERESTED? Its easy and w/ NO hassles. Ifs its legal or not? Thats questionable? I know it seems to be legal for the "Irish Random Lottery" to mail out checks from companys in the U.S. and they run out of Canada. Its also odd the checks come from different companys in states ranging from Texas, Ohio and Michigan. Still intested? 5 dollars and the instructions are your yours (E-mail me for information)
Thanks Tom Stand

I recently recieved a "check" in the amount of $2996.90 as an assistance to collect a 1/18th prize from the "Irish Random Lottery" Instructions include calling a telephone number for "Activaion and Authorisation" of the check. of the original $85,500 I had suppossedly won, a $5,301.00 (6.2% Sponsor's Commission) had already been deducted leaving me a balance of $80,000.00. Why would a "sponsor" require any commission? I did not sign up for ANY lottery group period so red flags popped up immediately. Why would any particular valid lottery require a Activation and Authorization phone call? If the system were above suspicion, the checks would be immediately cashable, no verification of the check would be required before you could submit it to a bank for payment or deposit.Oh yes, you aren't to let others know about your winning to preclude unauthorized claiming? If in fact, YOU as an identified winner were really valid, no one else could claim your winnings. DUH!!

They use a lot of different names, it doesn't matter if it's the "Irish Random Lottery" or the "North American Shopper's Lottery". If you received a check in the mail from some supposed lottery you never entered it is without a doubt a scam and the check will eventually turn out to be fake. Read the warnings and stories in this thread, or here where we have posted information on it:
http://fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1746
The ones who should be notified is the US Postal Inspection Service as this is a case of mail fraud. Turn in the envelope, letter and check to them. You can get their contact details from the phone book, your local post office, or contact them through their website here:
http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/
If you cash the check you may receive the money for it into your account, but the check will still bounce regardless of what they tell you at the counter. And according to the law you will be responsible for paying back the amount, once again regardless of what they have told you at the bank. They may also charge you with check fraud if you can't pay back the amount. Do not cash the check, and if you have, do not spend the money, or you could get yourself into a lot of trouble.

North american shopper's lottery is it a scam?
2006-07-24 15:29:22 -
So today I get a letter in the mail with a check drawn out of Wachovia Bank. The letter says I won 85,500.00. So I called the "acreditted" agency and they said in order to receive that, I have to cash the check that they sent me and send it via Western Union to a Bonnie Miller in Ontario, Canada once it is cleared. So then I see the company on the check and look it up on the internet. It is a legitimate company, so I've been trying to reach them
to inquire about this check for 2,830.00 written out to me. I left a message and hopefully will get a call back. I also saw that someone else on this site had a check from the same people with similar instructions. So I called the agency back and told them that I had reason to believe that they were a scam and the man demanded I tell him my name because he knew he had just conversed with my within the last hour and was "insulted" that I thought he was running a scam. He demanded that I send the check back and that he would forward my info to the other office and they would contact me "whenever". If you have legitamately won something, you wouldn't be treated like that and that the checks would come certified in that a signature is required by the postmaster in order to receive the document. This is disturbing to me. Anyone else receive a check from INTERNATIONAL RANDOM LOTTO? The name of the company the check is drawn from is FGI RESEARCH. Any other input would be great. Don't know if I should alert any authorities.
