Bonanza 2000 Royal Irish Draws, Zenith Financial Management Group Lottery Rip Off Scam - Check Bounces Belfast, Ireland Envelope says Canda - Ltr indicates Ireland

I received a letter indicating I won a random lottery in Belfast, Ireland. A check I'm sure that would bounce was enclosed in the amount of $2,998.40. The amount is supposed to represent the international clearance fees of $2,845.50. Obviously, once you deposit the check it would not clear but they would ask you to wire the money to them asap. I'm sure you would be hit with a bounce fee check and also have to pay back the bank that amount as well.

They promise money in the amount of $115,550 minus their commission of 6.8%. The agent I was supposed to contact is Tina Rogers of Zenith Financial Management Group at 3030 Spencer Blvd., Ste 2600, Belfast, Ireland an accredited agency to Irish Mega Lotto and the phone number for Tina would be 011-353-851648739. Lastly they indicate that the prize must be claimed no later that November 22.

They even go as far as indicating that you must keep "this award from public notice until your claim has been processed and money remitted to your account, as this is part of our security protocol to avoid double claiming or unwarranted taking of advantage of the program by the participants and the public". Yeah, so no one can find out it is a scam until all your money from the bank is GONE!!

Something needs to be done. These letter and checks are being sent all over the country. I'm sure some people have fallen victim to this scam! I researched them on-lime and found many people have been scammed. You can't something for nothing - especially when you did not buy a ticket to the Irish Lotto.

P.S. The letter also has misspelled words. Another sign!
