greg lyman llc north american retailers guilds I was sent a check for 3990.00 saying I had won an sweepstake and for me to send them 2920.00 to pay the taxes and I would receive the rest of my lump sum for 146000 via fedex. Chicago, Illinois

I received a check from Greg Lyman llc stating my ticket number had been drawn and I had won 150,000 dollars.  With the letter was a check for 3990.00 dollars, that I needed to get cashed and take out 2920.00 dollars to pay my states taxes.

It stated that I should call a number and speak to Nicole Hamilton, and she would give me the instructions on what to do.  So I called the number and spoke to Nicole, and she said this was not a scam and that I needed to cash the check take out the tax money, and then call her back and she would give  me the Western Union Info.

When I hung up with her I got on the net and typed in North American Retailers Guilds, and 4 different fraud headings popped up.  Then I phoned the Attorney Generals Office for my state, and they were already aware of this scam.

I asked them if I could file a report and they said I didn't need to it was already under investigation.  I feel I need to file something because I don't know what all of my info they have.  I hope they get caught, its horrible someone giving folks hope financially and only to find they were going to drain you.
