NATIONAL LOTTO CO-OPERATIVE SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY/ BRITESMILE, INC ...This is a SCAM you are not a winner and PLEASE PLEASE don't send them any money and DON"T CASH THE CHECK!!!!! Boca Raton Florida

The letter you receive states: " Final Winning Notice" and gives you a Claim number like... 1110/BINL and starts off with, Dear Winner. The letter then goes on to tell you that you have been declared the winner of the NATIONAL LOTTO CO-OPERATIVE SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY, Shopping Award in conjunction with the Consumers promotions held on October 25th,2008 in the 2nd Catagory.

And then, that you are entitled to $150,000.00 of a total $1.5 Million shared prize with 10 other winners. They exclude a check (mine was in the amount of $ 4879.85) The check looks completely real and is on an actual bank (HANVIT BANK in Los Angles, CA...I called the bank and they nothing of this account or any LOTTO). Supposedly this check is to cover the amount of Taxas that will be due for your winnings. They then give you a phone number to "your assigned agent" (mine was MIKE HYDEN) and tell you to call with your claim number for instruction on how to claim your winnings. They will tell you to deposit the check and then call them back and they will give you the instructions of how you will pay the $2,998.00 GOVERNMENT TAXES/FEES on your $150,000.00 winnings; which of course must be paid before they will release your remaining winnings balance. DON"T DO IT!!! You will send the money to them and never receive anything else, then the check that you deposited will bounce and you'll be responsible to pay your bank back and risk being charged with passing a fraudulent check!
