I received a letter on 12/27/07 which was dated 12/12/07 from Global Financial Services in E. Toronto, Ontario. There was a check includd from Incyte Corporation drawn on a Union Bank of California in the amount of $2920.00. It appeared to be real.
The letter stated that I had won a lottery for $120,000 but there was some mixup in the ticket numbers, so I had to call in order to confirm and "activate" my check. Here's the kicker - I had to do it by 12/28, and I only received the letter on 12/27.
I knew immediately this had to be a scam. I called the number they gave me anyway. I got a voice message saying the mailbox was full, so then I checked on line for similar scams and confirmed that it was indeed a scam.
These things have to stop. Those of us who are informed enough won't get hurt by scams like this, but I worry about the elderly and uninformed. How can we stop these things from happening?

Realistically there is no way to stop this. The people involved in these scams are hiding in other countries under different names and surface only long enough to get their money.
Unrealistically I guess we could have scientists bio engineer us with common sense and get rid of greed (unless science is that far along).
The only people that really fall for this are those that think they can get rich quick.
Come on, who should honestly believe they won a sweepstakes or lottery they never entered to begin with??
