GLOBAL CLEARANCE INC LOTTERY AND SWEEPSTAKES SERVICES sent me a bogus $4,450 check for MEGA MILLION SWEEPSTAKES with instructions to call Doris Mckenzie to start claim process. Edmonton, Other

I do enter sweepstakes, so my heart skipped a beat when I opened the envelope and a check for $4,450 fell out.  From a comany called JEWELTEX MFG. CORP.

Suspicous, but hopeful, I googled Jeweltex and lots of websites showed up.  I got a bit more excited.  This might be real after all.  I am an unemployed single mother in danger of losing my home for my children.  Times are tough, but I am trying to work through it.  I sound like your typical spammer if I go on with my situation, so I won't.  Suffice it to say that if this were real, it would be an enormous benefit to me & my kids.

Then I Googled GLOBAL CLEARANCE INC and the phone number included 778-319-8029 and the claims agent name and number.  Thats when I found Ripoff Report.  I am glad I found this before I made a fool of myself by trying to cash the check.  At first it looks real, but now I notice that there is no stub with it and no phone number for Jewltex MFG Corp.  The letter included shows all sorts of Claim numbers, lucky winning numbers and best of all a balance of $120,550.00

And why would it come with the name of a Tax Agent (Carla Westbrook) and an address in London (1640 Voss Road, London, UK)?  hmmm?

Just for kicks I called the number and surprisingly there is no answer.  More hmmm?

Anyway, I think it is a lousy thing for them to do to anyone.  There are alot of folks out there in much worse straits than I am and they might be desperate enough to fall for this.  These people should be ashamed of themselves.  I know they are not, but by all rights they should be.  I am Totally Disgusted with them.
