Received a supposed cashiers check in the amount of $3, 700 of which i was supposed to send them $2700 for the taxes.it said i had won a total of $120, 000 and that they had tried to get in touch with me numerous times. i knew that was probably a lie because i have a recorder on my phone and had not received any calls left with this name or number on it. please if anyone receives a letter similar to this don't do anything with this but turn it in to law enforcement. i will be getting in touch with our attorney general as soon as possible and maybe we can get this stopped in the state of alabama before some law abiding citizen gets stuck.!
We received the same letter: a check for $3700 toward $2700 in taxes, with the total amount to be received $120, 000. The letter was postmarked from Canada and the issuing bank was Union Bank, N. A. in San Francisco. I was suspicious because I do not enter sweepstakes generally, and had not received any phone calls about it at all. Also, why would you need to send anyone money for taxes? If we owed taxes, we would pay the IRS ourselves at tax time, not some agent.
I think this can be turned into the U. S. Postal Inspector as well as your state's attorney general's office.

I also received the same letter . My check is $3500.00 to help pay the taxes on the amount of $50, 500.00. Said I should contact a Randy Morrison, a claim agent, to "use" the check. It also mentions big name stores. My cashiers check is from Union Bank in San Francisco, the remitters name is Virginia Campbell. The letter is signed by a Bonnie Wright, the promotion manager. Rember people you NEVER pay your federal taxes to anybody except the IRS.
I received the same letter post marked out of Canada. The check was drawn on Bank of America out of Chicago, Illinois. Since the envelope did not have a return address I was skepical and then I thought who would send a check for $3900.oo without in being insured and someone having to sign for it? I am contacting the postal inspector as well as the attorney general's office in NC. This thing has SCAM written all over it. Don't fall for it. JP in NC

I Have received the same letter about winning a lottery asking for me to call a specific person with an area code from Toronto. I live in Utah and have received a check for $3899.00 from Capella University. This is strange as it uses my nickname and not my given name. This is a scam as it has the same claim number as many others that have posted complaints. Unfortunately I have no idea who to report this too as it was sent from Baltimore Maryland. Don't cash these checks as they are fraud and please make sure you keep your information safe.
