I received a letter stating I "won" a Sweepstake Drawing for $253,000. I also received a check for $4960.00 with the letter. I was to call this phone number 778-321-6525 and was told in the letter that I needed to send $3466.00 in a money gram or western union to some place in Cananda. I called and asked "why a money gram or western union?" I was told that it was becuase you have to show an id when you use those services, I said "dont you have to show an ID when you open a bank acct.?
I hung up. Anyone else out there know who these people are? "Integrity Structual Settlement"

This is a total rip off, please look up this link here to see more information on the Nigerian/4-1-9 scams. This letter you received is along the same lines as these. BTW, the check you would have received is easy to debunk if you know how as well. go to routing numbers on any major search engine and you can debunk those as well.

It's a fairly safe bet to just never trust anything like this

My fiance got one of these exact same letters in the mail today, addressed to her dead mother no less, people out there are a##holes.

Recieved same letter and check at my Mother's address. I've been taking care of her finances, and everything else imaginable for the last 10 years. She's almost 73, can barely walk, is a diabetic, heart disease, CANCER, on oxygen 24/7, and the list goes on. How do these slimballs find people like my Mom?! And, the Mother-in-Law mentioned in another post that was deceased?! The check looks so real, but bank & routing numbers don't add up. I'm going to take it to my bank to see what they say.....can account be traced to an actually person/company. Based in Canada, but check from Pennsylvania....huh? Wish something more could be done about these piece of cow-dung predators.
