Received a lettter with company logo, very offical looking. With letter was a check for $985. Check was very authentic looking, had watermark, etc, Even fooled the teller at bank. Letter staes i had won $8ooo thru promotions sponsered by local merchants. They asked for me to call 905-598-2343 ans speak to a Lexie Wilberman, who explained how I had won, what to expect , when the check was to be delivered. She says that aletter of authenticy would be with the check, which would be proof to the bank that it wa safe to cash.
From the $985, I was to send $800 to pay taxes on my winnings. Whe she told me to send to Canada, I became suspicious, she then explained since the winnings was coming from Canada, I had to pay Canada the tax on it.
FedEx was to delivey the check by 5PM on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009. No FedEx, no check. I called back to the numbers listed on letter, and they claim they never talked to me at all. I have kept calling everyday to hassle them.

It's not intricate.
You always pay taxes after you receive income..not before..first sign of a scam.
Second sign was someone sending a check for $985.00..then asking to send back $800.00? Why not just send $185.00 if they needed anything in advance?
If they needed anything to "prove" to the bank it was safe..they could have just sent a $1.00 check. All of this is highly suspect.
If anyone tells me I won anything (and honestly..who wins anything unless they know what contest they were entered in?), I shouldn't have to do anything but wait for the prize to be delivered....or notified where to go to pick it up..and that is how anything legitimate works on this earth.

This is far from intricate. It's a downright joke! Canada, taxes up front, how many clues do you need? Get out more and read more, this is tax for the stupid.

Hi Thomas. If you search for this company name, you will see my report. My advice to you is to go to your bank, give thembthe letter and explain. I really hope you did not send them any money. The bank told me what is going to happen is the check will bounce and they will take the money back out of my account. If you sent them this money, you are going to be responsible for all of it. The reason they are giving you a runaround is because its an intricate scam.
PLEASE, go to your bank as soon as you see this or you may be prosecuted!
