Hong Kong Jockey Club Lotteries Limited SENT FAKE CHECK, TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN BANK ACCOUNT, SEND THEM 2700 DOLLARS ,I WOULD RECIEVE $120,00 Vancouver British Columbia

the hong kong jockey club is actually a legitimate business who is another victim in this scam. sometimes scammers take the name of businesses who are on the "up and up", so they can seem to be legitimate when you try to find out about them. i was almost a victim of this same scam, but knowing that "if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is", i did more research. first of all, anytime someone says you've won a prize, but you need to send them money for processing fees... know they are lying. there have been international laws put in place to protect consumers, such as the one that says NO fee shall be requested prior to payment of "winnings". the idea of these scams is that you deposit the check, then during the "three processing days" they use the information sent by your bank to wipe out your account before you or the bank knows what's going on.
