Indemnity Financial, Subsidiary Of Travelers Indemnity Company I was sent 2 letters in June with checks enclosed for $3,165.15 and $2,965.15, respectively. Ripoff Newark New Jersey

I received a letter with a Canadian stamp (I think) dated June 11, 2007, from a company called, "Indemnity Financial, A Subsidiary of Travelers Indemnity Company" along with a check for $3,165.15. The letter, signed by James Mack, Prize Coordinator, stated I was randomly selected as the lucky winner of unclaimed prize money in the amount of $65,000. I was instructed to call Ms. Monique ASHLAND upon receipt of the letter at 705-350-0162. The number was not a legitimate number. The address on the this letter was different from the second. It was P.O. Box 10893 Chantilly VA 20153-0893. Phone: 705-350-0162; Fax 705-789-8272.

Then I received another letter with the same Canadian stamp dated June 15 from the same named company indicating I had won $250,000!!! A "cheque" was enclosed for $2,965.15. "For Authorisation" (note spellings in quotes) I was to call ANDREW LINCOLN at 780-695-1587. There was no answer to this number.

I decided to research the Company on the internet and found reports similar to this. What is going on here?
