British Sweepstakes ripoff Received letter stating that I had won $50,000 and was to be enclose with letter. No Check with letter. Markham Ontario Mont-Royal Quebec

On February 13th, 2006, I wanted to investigate this SCAM futher so I called the telephone number shown in the letter I received. A man called Paul answered the phone. He had a heavy mid-eastern speech. When I asked to speak to either Gladys Peters, the claims co-ordinator or Heather Anderson, claims manager, he became very nervous and asked if he could help me and that Heather was busy and I must wait 10 mins. to tlak to her.

Finally, after being put on hold for three mins., Gladys Peters got on the phone.she also had a foreign speech...she repeated me my home address and home telephone number and verified my winning lottery number from information she had on file. She asked if I had received a second letter, which I had not. I believe some way these SCAM ARTISTS have been able to hack into Electric and Telephone Companies computers

At this point, she told me that I would be asked to pay an amount to a different person or agency in order to claim my $50,000. I assured her this was not going to happen unless I received a certified letter validating my claim to be true.

She got extreemly agitated with me. I immediately asked for her e-mail address and fax number under the gise that calling was too expensive and that I would communicate with her by fax or e-mail.

Here are the numbers she gave me, which I have not checked out. E-Mail address is: G P Vicky Johns@Yahoo.com and the Fax Number is 514-341-7725. Has anyone out there called British Sweepstakes?? Please let me know...
