Plus Financial sponsor lotto, digest publishers clearing house sweepstakes ripoff Victoria British Columbia

I received a letter and a check for $1,980 from this company. I called first because I was thinking that it could be a scam. I talked to two different men. The first man caught an attitude when I asked him where did they pull my name from, so I asked to speak to the second man. The second man explained everything and was really patient when I asked him questions.

There were some questions that I asked and the responses didn't sound right to me. I was told that by law sweepstakes can't ask you to pay your processing fee out of your pocket, so they sent the check to pay the processing fees. I was supposed to send them $1,850 for the processing fee and the left over money was supposed to pay for the wire transfer. They told me that after the processing fee was received, then the remainder $54,000 would be sent to be via check or wired to my bank account. I asked them if it's my money, why can't I just keep the $1.980 and forfeit the rest. He really couldn't explain why.

I was told after I cash the check to give them a call, so they can tell me where to wire the money to. I hung up and got really suspicious about the whole situation. I waited until the next morning and began my research. I ran across this sight and noticed that a couple other people have compained about this company, but it had different addresses. I also called Chase bank because the check had Chase at the top of it. On the check it stated Eton Park Capital Management LP was the payee for the check. Chase verified that Eton Park's account is active.

After I verified that Eton Park has an active account, I did further reseach. I called Eton Park to verify that they were affiliated with Plus Financial Inc. I was told that the check was fake. He told me the amount of the check and I was told that other people have been tricked into this scam. Someone has got a hold to their checks and are issuing them and when they receive the money for the so called processing fee, they cancel the account and change their phone number and you're left responsibe to pay back all the money that was paid out to you.

I'm trying to warn you, the check will clear. But after a few weeks the check will be returned and you will be responsible for paying back any money that was spent.

Don't be tricked into this.
