Sun Trust Finance Final Notice of payment of $450,000 with enclosed check for $4,700 to pay non-resident tax ripoff Halifax Nova Scotia
*Consumer Comment: Good thing you are researching first!
Received final notice of winnings from "compensation draw" for $450,000. A check for $4,700 was enclosed to be used for payment of Canadian non-resident government service tax of $2,800. Tax agent - Donna Walker. Claim agent - Fred Harris. Check was drawn on account of BYR Telecommunications Corp., 1900 NW 84 Ave, Doral, FL 33126 on a bank named Terrabank, 3191 Coral Way, Miami, FL 33145. This was received in a plain envelope, no return address, and my address on a generic mailing label. Seemed suspicious, thus I came here to verify.

This is a scam that is fooling many people these days. It preys on people's greed.
The check seems real enough for the bank to accept it as a deposit. But it will come back to the bank as a fradulent check.
If you followed the directions and called those people, they would instruct you to wire them the amount mentioned to take care of the non-resident tax. Had you done this, you would then have to repay the bank back for that amount.
What I don't understand is the lack of any kind of action from anyone in the position of an authority.
The company name on the check is probably a real company with their banking info........but they did not send you that check - why would BYR Telecommunications Corp send you a check to pay taxes for a canadian tax?
