First Advantage Financial ripoff lottery winnings cashiers check taxes on winnings Windsor Ontario

I received a final notice in the mail saying that I had won the second category of a lottery held on Sept 27th 2006. They gave me the serial number and winnings numbers. They said I was entitled to the sum of US $275,000.00 payable by bank draft, certified check, or money order.

Enclosed was a cashier's check for $3800.00 that was deducted from my winnings..the purpose of the check was for paymend of NON RESIDENT GOVERNMENT SERVICE TAX (GST). Payable in Canada.

The tax amount was $2,850.00 to be paid by MONEY GRAM.

I was told to contact claims agent PAUL IVANROWSKY immediately. I did call in order to confront him on what I knew was a scam and he asked me to call back in 30 minutes!

It was signed..Courtney Thurman (Promotions Manager).
