Sure Financial, Incorporated Sweepstakes Scam Los Angeles, California

Received letter from Sure Financial, Incorporated, Claim No. BA-243-008-11, dated 03/07/2012, informing me of 2nd prize winnings in the amount of US $450,000.00 from USA Mega Sweepstakes, serial number 7630014, lucky numbers 11-17-27-32-39 drawn on January 20, 2012.

(I never entered this sweepstakes. Letter, winning numbers, winnings are identical to the information posted in another Ripoff Report, with the exception of the date of the drawing.)

Enclosed was $4,850.00 check to be deposited to help with the processing fee of $4,100.00. Check (Wachovia Bank, N.A.) was made out to Oliver Sprinkler Co., Inc., 501 Fehely Drive, King of Pressia, PA 19406-2690. (Wachovia Bank does not exist any longer, was bought by Wells Fargo during the financial crisis, King of Pressia is incorrect, it should be King of PRUSSIA)

Claims Agent:David Morgan @ 011-34-665-157-577, this is a international phone number, not a number in Los Angeles.

I researched Oliver Sprinkler Company on the internet to get their phone number (610-277-1331) to alert them to the scam. They are aware of this, told me not to cash this check under any circumstances, (I was not going to do this anyway) and referred me to Carla Jones, ext. 307., who is handling this scam.
Left a message on her voice mail with my phone number, asking her to call me back.

Envelope of letter supposedly sent from L.A. had no return address and was posted from Faro (Portugal?) with 0.80 Euro postage.
