Union Financial Securities & Trust Tried to scam me out of $2,875.00 Toronto Ontario Canada

I received a check from Union Financial Securities and Trust for the total sum of $4,875.00. The company stated that I had won $125,000.00 and that the initial payment for this money was $4,875.00, however I was not allowed to cash the check unless I spoke to someone from the Government Taxes insurance bond policy coverage. I was to pay $2,875.00 for government taxes. The payment had to be sent by Western Union or Moneygram to the tax agent. I was also advised to keep this information confidential until the claim has been processed and my cash was remitted to me. The Claims/Disbursement manager is Mr. Bryan McDonald (Presdent) 1-416-824-9178. I checked the phone number on WhitePages.com It's a cell phone that is unpublished or unavailable. I am taking the letter and check to the United States Post Office tomorrow. Hopefully someone will be able to stop these scam artists and put them in jail for a very long time. I really hope that people are not stupid enough to fall for this.
