ING Wealth Management Inc Phony Sweepstake and Lottery Draw Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada

I received a letter dated November 3, 2010, from ING Wealth Management Inc. with a check for $3405.10.  The letter stated that I had received a Sweepstakes and Lottery Draw in the amount of $290,000.  It further stated that I must call the claim agent, Jarvis Otis at 778-865-5736.  Mr. Otis instructed me to deposit the check in my bank account and call him as soon as that was done.  I was also instructed to "keep my claim number at home - do not take it with me to the bank."  I called back and pretended to have deposited the check. My next instructions were to withdraw $2900 cash and send it to the Tax Agent - Lisa Foster in London, UK - via Western Union (WU), and call Mr. Otis with the WU confirmation number.  Again I was instructed to not share the "winnings" with anyone. Once Mr. Otis confirmed the WU transaction was completed I would be sent the rest of the winnings.
