This phone number is affiliated with an 'advance fee lottery' scam.  The company name is; Lloyd Branson & Associates Suite 1120-336 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V3X 3K6.  The potential victim is sent a letter from B. Mainsworth Richardson (Attorney) informing him that he is a winner of the Australian Sweepstakes in the amount of $312,000.  Enclosed with the letter is a check to pay the legal, insurance premium, and processing fees on the purported winnings, in the amount of $6,800.92 (counterfeit).  This is a SCAM.

CALLED MR. RICHARDSON AND HE TRIED TO GET ME TO GIVE HIM THE CHECK NUMBER SO THAT HE COULD ACTIVATE THE CASHIERS CHECK, AND I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE BANK RIGHT AWAY AND THEN GO AND PAY THE FEES AND THEN UPS WOULD BE SENDING ME 40,000.00. I DIDNT GIVE HIM THE CHECK NUMBER SO THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE BANK AND CASH IT BUT I LOOKED ON HERE AND SAW THAT IT WAS A SCAM.

I also received this letter with check of 7,250.44 toward the payout of 273,000.00 cash award.  I haven't pursued or called on it yet. Checked here first thinking it was surely a scam.  What do they want and what happens when you call?

wow I recieved the same information, that is crazy that people will scam us the way we all are scruggling out here.

Since the check was from Chase and that is my bank I took it there and they checked it out, it is a scam and I will take them the letter so they can give it to their fraud department.
