BRITISH LOTTO COMMISSION They scam by sending me a letter that said I am the third winner of some kind lottery. They make me cashed a fake check to my account and send to them for taxes so they would my winning prizes. Oakville Ontario

Your post says that you sent the money to an address. To me, that suggests you mailed a check. In that case, you might be able to stick a fraud charge, if they cashed the check at a bank. If you used Western Union, the address is meaningless. It is cash that can be picked up at any Western Union office with the right ID and knowledge of the Money Control Transfer Number.

That phone number has a British Columbia area code, by the way. They may have picked up the money from BC, making it even harder to find them.

File a complaint with FTC. You can do this online, and I suggest you make sure to mention how Western Union was very helpful in letting you send your money to a stranger. They aren't supposed to be.

Letters like that with given checks of any amount are ripoffs and the tax they ask you to send is phony and they station themselves in Canada for a less likely chance to be traced and found. They are ripping you off and scamming you and even if you cashed or deposited the check and ran they would have or the real owners would have reported that money lost or stolen.

Noone would send you a check of alot of money out of the sky for nothing for a Lotto you never never entered. You should have just ripped the check to a million pieces and thrown it out or brought it to the police or something.

I got a check for over 4 grand almost 5 grand from Masco and was about to deposit it in the bank but after googling that company with the words Lottery and Lotto in it I said just throw it out even if the bank said it was good. The truth is it was a printed check from a scam or fencing company using the blank Masco Payroll checks printing them from their computer and the money they had sent Masco after going over their books would have noticed it missing and reported it stolen and if I had sent that phony tax to Western Union with that phony promise of them sending me 250 grand they would have just had money stolen from me and the bank would have fined me later.
