My wife recieved a letter from Mutual Financial Securities Inc. informing her that she was one of the declared winners of the SHOPPERS SWEEPSTAKES held on July 5th, 2008 in the 2nd category. It stated that they had made several unsuccessful attempts to contact her and she was entitled to the sum of $250,000.00. Her claim number has been assigned to a North American Claims affiliate and a check in the amount of $2985.00 was enclosed for payment of applicable government taxes. The tax amount of $2985.00 is to be paid by either moneygram or Western Union.
It was also stated to not attempt to use the check until you called for further clarification within 5 business days. We contacted the Premier Bank of St. Charles, MO, whom the check was to be drawn from, and was told that this was indeed a scam and should report it to local law enforcement or the FBI.

DO NOT CASH THE CHECK PERIOD.
Just pretend that you have fallen for it and send that same bogus check back to them. Use a Sharpie and write Fraud or Scam across the check.
If I ever get one - that is what I plan to do, after alerting the authorities of course.

I received a mailing like that. ( cross-border scam )

This is not a rebuttal to the mails that David had. But I am glad that I did look at this website and found out this is a scam. I got the same letter and that it came from Premier Financial Securities Inc. in Midland Ont. The bank check is from Premier Securities Inc. in Biddeford, Maine. The contact persons name is Bob Morris ( 1-416-826-2774 ) and the promotions manager is Mary Long.
The check is for the amount of $4890.00 and I should pay the tax of $2985.00.
The letter says that I am a winner of $250,000.00 from the total of $5 million dollars.
Yes, it says that I should pay the money through either a money gram or western union.
Thank You David and ripoff website.
