Received a letter from British Lotto commission.
It basically states that out of 8,000,000 names and addresses who signed for the North American Sweepstakes ( I never signed up)as part of there Int'l promotions program My name was drawn in the third catagory. I will be awarded a lump sum of$ 165,000.00. which is payout for third catagory winners total prize money US 12,000,00.00.

A tax and clearance fee of$2500.00 has been financed with the enclosed check of $2500.00. Deposit to pay your tax and clearance fee. And make sure it isclaimed by November 29th 2006. Otherwise it will bepolled to the next draw,thank you

John Williams (Prize Director) End of letter.
The check is from Guy Carpenter. Searched that name and they seem to be mainly a reassurance company.
Bottom right of check is an illegible signature.Below sinature it reads;
CitiBank Delaware
One Penn's Way
New Castle, De 19720

I know this HAS to be a scam. I am just not sure of its mechanics. If anyone else has written in, deposited the check. (i have money in my account to coverit. Cash it and re-deposit it.)check appears legitimate. But my gut feeling is I will owe citbank De. $2500.00 plus an unbelievably high interest rate.
Please let me know as soon as you can what is going on before the 29th of this month, next tuesday.

Thank you for your assistance and information you have already gathered or can find.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

DEFINITELY A SCAM

AUTHOR: Sheila - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Definitely a scam.

1. You never signed up for any lottery.
2. Why not just take taxes out of the winnings and send you the rest?
3. I would think any legitimate company sending someone a check for a large amount of money would send it registered mail.
4. I bet the letter is full of spelling and grammatical errors as well as misuse of words.

If you have the money in the bank to cover the check, be thankful! Many people are living paycheck to paycheck and have no money in the bank.

If you can

call the bank and tell them that you did some research and found out the check will be no good. See if they can stop process on it. Do not send any money out Western Union. It is all a scam.
