K & R Clearance Center attempted scam of $38,600.00 for a 10% processing of 386,000 sweepstakes winnings ripoff Toronto Ontario Canada

K&R clearance center send me a letter stating that I won a multi country and multi company raffle. A number was given to call to verify my identy and to give verbal confirmatiom of acceptance to receive a check.

When the check for $49,950.00 arrived it also had a letter stating that for legality the 10% administrative and processing costs would have to be paid by me. To help in making these payments this check was sent.

I was suposed to deposit this check into my account and when it cleared my bank I was to contact dan and get an acount number to wire $38,600.00 to him. Upon receiving the 38,600 He would then sned the check for the remaining sweepstakes of $338,000.00.

Well thinking this was a scam where he gets his wire transfer then removes the cash before the check clears, I overnighted the check with a letter of request to open an account, to the bank that the routing number from the check belongs to In hopes of clearing the check before he gets a chance to remove the money. Two days later I called dan to tell hime I received the check and will be depositing the next day.

Well it turns out the check was fraudulant. The routing number went to one bank but the account belonged to a sister bank in a different state. The money was in the account but the account was not at the bank where the account was.

This person (dan) called from a different number (646 536 9090) Which is how I found this site. The same number used for a loan and insurance scam.
