I received a letter from Premier Random Lotto stating that a drawing had just been held in Dublin, Ireland and I had emerged as one of the winners in the third category. They gave me my coupon number and serial number that drew 5 numbers that won. They stated that 16 winners were dividing $3,500,000 for a total of $130,000 for each of us.

They sent me a check from a Wacohvia Bank stating that one of their sponsor's (which I was to assume was Georgetown Memorial Hospital since it was on the check's heading) was assisting me with financing the international clearance fees. The check was for $2994.60 but the clearance fees were $2845.

I was to deposit the check into my account, then send the international fees by Western Union. Once the money was sent, I would have been notified by my bank that the check was fake and I would have been robbed $2845.

I have the letter and the check. I will keep this in case anyone needs evidence of how authentic the check looks. Except for "Wachovia" being spelled incorrectly, it looks real. The security features of the check are even listed on the back!!

Premier Random Lotto/Alpha Financial Group fake lottery winner letter

AUTHOR: Carol - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, June 25, 2007

I received the letter from Canada stating the drawing was held in Ireland. With the letter explaining how I had won, which sounded like it was an Internet lottery which I could have very well entered, was a check for $2994.60 from a "sponsor" of the Lotto, to be deposited into my account.

I was to notify Tiffany Ward of Alpha Financial Group and she would have told me to send the international clearance fees of $2845 via Western Union. By the time my bank would have realized that the check was a fake, I would have already sent the $2845. I would have never received a deposit and this group of people would have made $2845 off of me.

I didn't go through with this because I have had so many of these fake lottery winning notifications, but usually from Nigeria. I couldn't believe it when I saw this one was from Canada. No return address on the envelope, but a Canadian postal stamp.

I have started looking up the companies and reading the stories about the poor people who actually believed it was legitimate. It is sad how much money they have managed to rob from trusting souls.

I have to go with what I was taught...if it seems too good to be true, then it probably isn't!

This is a well known scam with the twist. You had to send $2845 to claim your your 3 level check of $2994.60. I bet you didn't buy a ticket in this lottery.

So far you are only out about $150 but on the suckers list. And will have questions to answers.

A "lottery" in Ireland sent you a check from Wacohvia Bank with a local hospitals name on it to assist you in clearance fees?
