We received a fraudulent large "cashier's" check of over four thousand dollars ,remitted by Nothern Trust Inc. on the bank of Country Federal Credit Union in Macclenny, Fl.(This bank does really exist and appears legitimate.) It was accompanied by a letter from Jennifer Prest, explaining that the lottery was held on March 7, 2005 and the winning ticket was from the 2nd category. The postmark on the letter was from Canada. The check was deducted from the total winnings of over $250,000 and it was stated that we would need to also pay a $3,600.00 processing fee plus deductions for taxes and surcharges prior to receiving the award money.
Fortunately, we came upon the rip-off report website and spied Jennifer Prest's name with a similar scheme described BEFORE we cashed the check at our bank. This, I'm sure, saved us a lot of money, disappointment, and stress!

Good reminder ..if someone is offering this money for your 'help', its a scam.

AUTHOR: Greg - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, July 23, 2006

A woman I know tried to cash one of those types of checks at a check cashing store, and after fighting fraud charges, skated through with only probation.

Remember, if someone is offering this money for your 'help', its a scam. I am sure the canadian lottery does not need processing fees or transfer fees from lottery winners.

If its too good to be true, its false. I can't believe some people still fall for that one.
