Advance Financial Corporation the company sent me a check for 4,850 , to cover Canadian Non-Resident taxes on a certified check of 485,000.To make a long story short I was scammmed. Calgary Abcalgary Alberta

I was sent a letter stating I was to receive a lump sum of 485,000. Enclosed was a check to cover Canadian Non-Resident government taxes. Send 2,850 to the tax agent.

I waited for the check to clear , It cleared in two or three days. So started thinking maybe I am going to get this certified check in a couple of days. According to my claims agent Peter Lee.

Well three days later my bank tells me the check bounced. I must pay the bank back the 4850. I was mortified. How can this be. Icalled back my agent and according to him the check is good. He also stated that the check is being investigated.

I called the company yesterday and they still pick up the phone. He tells me that my check is in customs and they are not going to release until 1% of the check which is another 4800 dollars to claim it.

Mr. Lee told me yesterday if I donm't claim it today, Someone else with that kinfd of money can claim it and take the money.
