Oceanic Financial Group sent fake lottery check Ontario Canada

On March 9,2009 i was sent in the mail a letter and a check from Oceanic Financial Group. Inside the letter their was a check in the amount of 20,000.00 payable to me. I then read the letter and it said that i had a sweepstakes drawing in the amount of 20,000.00. They in order to release this money i had to pay the tax agent their money first. They told me to deposit the the total check which was for 2,875.00 and then withdraw 2,235.00 out to pay the tax agent.

I was to call back to speak with a Ms. Celia Anderson to get the address and personal information needed to pay the taxes. After that was done i was expected to receive my lump sum of 20,000.00 within 2-4 weeks. i immediately went on line to check out this company and found out it was a scam and i called my lawyer and checked with him also, he confirmed it was a scam i then forwarded all my information to the police department.
