I got a lettwe in the mail that said I won $57,000.00 and inclosed was a check for $ 3,987.85. It also said " For authorizing and processing of your price, please contact your agent Lucinda Johnson at 1-705-770-4795, and my winnings must be claimed no later than 1/16/2008." My claim number is US/CA-09/02-099WD. It was also signed by David Stewart Prize Co-Ordinator. The letter head says IBM FINANCIAL. It also has something to do with Publishers Clearing House, which I have entered a sweepstakes with them. There is also a number at the top of the Ref # NPF 996461W058.
I did some research and IBM FINANCIAL does exsist so I went ahead and put it in my savings account, now I feel stupid. By the address there is also something that looks like a address and it is 235 3545-35 Ave N.E Suite 409, Calgary Alberta T1Y 6M6 what that is I have no idea.

#1 Consumer Comment
Cross Canadian (and other counties) Boarder Scam
AUTHOR: Dan - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 21, 2008
You've already deposited the check. Don't spend any of the money, don't send any money to the requesting party. It's a scam. It takes about a week to 10 days for the bank to determine that the check is no good, but you have a very short time to deposit the check and send back the money. By then, you've already sent the money or spent some (or most of it). The bank will want their money back from YOU when the check bounces.
These scam artists use all their skills effectively to make their letters, checks and correspondence look official.
It is illegal in the US to require a winning contestant to send money for any reason to (taxes, processing, etc) to claim a prize.
I've never won a large prize from any contest. But I would expect that the notification would come by registered mail, directly from the contest sponsor, without any request to send money to claim my prize. Any of these items missing would cause me to investigate before spending money I don't have.
