LEAD FINANCIAL INC. LOTTERY WINNINGS NOTIFICATIONS SCAM Victoria British Columbia

I received a notification with an authentic appearing check (with watermark) from Fleet Bank via a intermediary company handling my supposed winnings of a NORTH AMERICAN CONSOLIDATED MEGA DRAWS 2008. This letter verified winning numbers, serial numbers and claim number. Specific instructions were given to not cash check but it was to be used to pay incidental expenses upon claiming my prize monies.

It gave a tollfree number to call (Claims officer) Thomas Scott an officer for Lead Financial INC. When I contacted this number, this person (who could barely speak english) could not identify the name of the company he worked for and gave me a secondary number to contact to verify the account holdings. When I called this second number a female, who could not identify the company whe was employed by (I assumed Fleet Bank), told me the money was in the account and I needed to contact my claims officer to further my application for my prize money.

This sounded very fishy so I went on this website to check for scams and this company has had many reports made against it.
