Inter-global Sweepstakes Lottery/free Lotto Promotion Program Fraud Amstedam, Netherlands Ontario

I received a letter on November 24, 2006 from inter-global sweepstakes lotto saying that my ticket number was drown and I had won $120,000 in the 3rd category. There was a check enclosed in the amount of $1998.00. The letter stated that the check was for to pay my taxes on the money.

To begin my claim and to a lump sum payment, the letter said to call 1-604-832-3449. I called the number and he told me to cash the check and send $1810.00 western union or moneygram. He gave the name and address to send it to. The lady I send it to she suppose to call me back and find out how I want my money. I was very sceptical. I noticed on the phone they were very unprofessional.

So I went to bank and asked what they thought and they said it was fraud for sure. I was so glad I didn't cash the check. Something needs to be done about this matter. We americans work hard for our money and times are getting harder everyday.
