GLOBAL CLEARANCE INC LOTTERY AND SWEEPSTAKES SERVICES They must think all people are complete idiots! They can Moneygram me $3400. Towne Nursing Staff better watch their bankaccounts. Edmonton, British Columbia

I got a letter in the mail with a check for $4450. the check was written on Towne Nursing Staff out of Brooklyn,N.Y. from Signature Bank ,also out of Brooklyn. Both of thes businesses do exist. Although the address for the bank on the check is:             34 Broadway  Brooklyn, N.Y. when in all truth the real address is:                            84 Broadway  Brooklyn, N.Y. After reading the letter and getting a little excited it dawned on me "This has got to be a SCAM because I knew I had not entered any sweepstakes or bought a single ticket of any kind. I called the telephone number anyway(1-778-319-8029) and spoke to the claim agent : Doris MCkenzie just to see what this could be. She said that a sweepstake thatI had been automaticly entered in when I made a purchase at my local Wal-Mart, K-Mart, grocery store, or maybe a CVS. She told me that she had dealt with give-aways such as appliances and gift cards but this was the first time for her with big money....."Let me the first to say CONGRATULATIONS!" She said that she would have to get all the details together , but to go ahead and deposit the check and call her back the next evening. The next day after I got off work I went to my bank and showed the letter and check to the branch manager. She told me that it was a bogus check and that the bank would not even accept the check.They had seen alot of these scam  checks and that alot of people would not even wait tilthe bank was open to ask about the check. They would put it in the night deposit and start writing checks off their accounts thinking that the money was in there, causing checks to start bouncing higher than the Twin Towers in explosion mode. So now Doris is still waiting to here back from me. I'm glad that my Mama didn't raise no Fool.
