So, I did a little research and found this site immediately. I also found that Gate Financial Inc is a real estate agency, but I could not find any contact information for them. I found that J.L. Coombs is a shoe company and there is one in Maine right off U.S. Route 1.(This was who issused the check) I now think that the real culprit is the people posing as the NORTH AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKES.

THIS IS A SCAM OPERATED BY THE BOGUS SWEEPSTAKES COMPANY
AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

The checks being sent with the sweepstakes promotion are forgeries. They are completely worthless. Do not deposit them or attempt to cash them as you will receive penalty fees when they are returned to your bank.
Do not wire any money to the sweepstakes company.
The sweepstakes is designed to rob you of the money that you send to them by Western Union or some other wire transfer.
This is an old scam ... sending you, the innocent consumer, a fraudelant worthless check and having you send "instant cash" by wire. They will steal that cash. By the time your bank notifies you that the check is worthless, you will be out your wired funds.

YOU ARE CORRECT IT IS A SCAM

Fortunately - you had the common sense to check it out first.
A lot of people will never check it out first, then post here only after they realize they have been scammed and lost a lot of money in the process. These are the people least likely to be able to afford to lose any money - never mind several thousand.
Legitimate Lotterys and Sweepstakes will never send part of your winnings to pay taxes or fees with just to have you send it back to them. Those taxes and fees will be paid first then you get the entire winnings.
