Union Financial Securities & Trust; Bryan McDonald Too Good to Be True Scam Toronto Ontario Illinois

Same scam as the others....

real authentic check sent in the amount of 4875.00. check drawn on Union Financial Securities and Trust. The letterhead states Union Financial Securities & Trust, International Claims Department, 285 Bay St, Toronto Ontario MSG-2N7, Canada. Two bank addresses on the check are: Union Financial Securities and Trust, PO box 100, Olney, IL 62450 and First National Bank in Olney, Main Street,Box 3, Ingraham, IL 62434. The check amount that I was given was 4875.00 and the check number was 17070. The amount that was requested to be sent to Western Union or Moneygram was $2875. The check was dated 6/26/08 and the letter was dated 6/25/08.

The letter claimed that Mr. Robert Smith was the claims/disbursement manager and his direct line was 1-647-836-0841. The letter was signed by Bryan Mcdonald, President. Supposedly, I was one of the declared winners of the DE-Lotto North American Sweepstakes Lotrry held on April 15, 2008 in the 2nd category. I was entitled to $125,000 and there were 32 other declared winners for a total prize of $4 million US dollars. A claim number was given.

Although the check looks authentic, the letter is cheesy and should alert you to the fact that this is fake.
