I received a check yesterday in the amount of $1950.00 supposedly drawn on a bank Comerica in Houston, TX. The funds are in there but I will NOT deposit it. Maybe if I went to a check cashing place, they would cash it? If the check is good, how can they get our identity if we have it cashed rather than deposited it? And if it is good, how can we be prosecuted? I am very vindictive...they don't want to screw with me. Has anyone tried to cash the checks? Please e-mail me if you have.

The same thing happened to me i need information because i need money.


2005-12-20 15:39:41 -
I rec a chk for the amt of 1960.00. Stating this was to be used for tax and clearance fees only. I'm curious-Has anyone cashed their check and the funds were there? they didn't owe the money back to anyone?
I had rec a letter in the mail yesterday that I had won 95,000.00 But I had a deadline of Dec. 23.
And that as soon as I would cash the check to call bk someone by the name of George Peterson, exactly similiar to Gateway Financial of London, England. I asked him what do I need to do once check was cashed-and where I needed to pay these supposed taxes etc. He stated on two seperate conversations, that he didn't have the paperwork in front of him and that as soon as I had the check cashed to call him. All I knew it was suppose to go to Western Union. I called several times and he stated there was no catch. It was all "honest". So, my brother-in-law looked up this Euro Lotto on the Web and he found Euro Lotto listed as one of the "companies" listed in doing fraud. (My Husband and I are assuming what they do is send it right before Christmas when you need the money the most and as soon as you cash check and wire YOUR hard earned money to someone or somewhere and THEY rec your 1900.00 and the check comes up ISF.) This web pg or article also stated that some of the winners even went as far as traveling to amsterdam to rec their cash winnings and rec'd it in counterfeit. This pg or article was warning people of these companies. Apparently there are many companies/organizations who are getting away with this. Don't get me wrong, I would have absolutley loved to have won 95,000. It sounds too good to be true. Just Be careful.

Like everyone else I received a mailing from this so-called Euro Lotto telling me I won 95,000 in a lottery which I never entered. Enclosed was a check in the amount of 1960.00 which drawn from chase manhattan bank in NY. I knew something stank about this when I called the number on the check and the answering machine was too full for messages. The number on the letter I received also wouldn't go through when I called it. The name on the check was Apple and Eve LLC. I managed to track down their legitimate phone number and, of course, they informed me this is a scam. I'm not sure if the check was any good because I never tried to deposit it and I was leery in doing so until I found out if this was legit, which I doubted from the get go. I mean, why is someone going to send you almost 2,000 out of the blue? I'm not sure what the scammers motives are. It would seem they are trying to f*ck over this company by sending out bogus checks in their name while screwing with others by making them somehow think they've hit the lottery. I ended up sending the check back to the real company so they can pursue the matter. Too bad this wasn't legit. This money would have come in handy especially at this time of year.

I received a letter from Pacific Propmotions Inc statting that I won $50,000 from th eInternational Lottery. They randomly picked my name. The stated that I needed to pay a clearance fee and they will send me a cashiers check to cover the clearance fee. I called a person by the name of Frank Nelson at 647-829-7039. He said that I will received a cashiers check to cover the clearance of $2,500.00 and the fees to send the money through Western union. A few days later, I received the official check for $2670.00 and I called him. He asked me to cash the check and sent the money to robbin Russell in Quebec Canada. I called him on a Minday evening and he said I had until Wednesday to send the money or I will not get my remaining prize of $47,500.00. The gentleman I talked to had a African accent perhaps Nigerian. I went to the bank and the bank deposited the check and said the next day I could cash it. I went to the bank on wednesday and was able to cash the check. I am afraid that this check will come back to be a counterfeit check sometime next week. If I legitimately won the money, than I should be able to receive 30 days from now. If you hav eto pay a clearance fee why it going to an individual instead of an official business or organization. I asked this individual Frank if this was a scam and he said no and there was no risk to me because the if the bank cashed the check they can not come after me and take the money from account. They could be trying to scam banks using this technique. I am putting this money aside and if something comes back I will return it to the bank. I have been scammed by some opther scams recently. This sounds too good to be true. Although, I would love to have $47,500.00. If he is legitimate, he will contactn gme about the cashing of theor cashiers check. In retrospect, who would send someone an official check of $2670.00 and hope that they send it to you if you had something to lose. I want to know if anyone else had had this experience and what was the outcome. I ca be reached through my email address.

I too received a check for $1950.00 drawn on a Bank One account for alleged sweepstake winnings of $95,000.00. I called Bank One to verify the account and was told it was a valid account. I deposited the check 9 days ago and sent the monies Western Union as a lady by the name of Debbie Rogers with Gateway Financial Management Co. had instructed me to do - her name and number was at the bottom of the announcement. She claimed to have mailed out a cashiers check via registered mail last Tuesday and as of today, I have not received anything. The strange thing is I think the check for $1950.00 cleared because it has had way too much time to go through the clearing house and make it back to me. Yes, I have called numerous times and cannot get anyone. Mind you, she had caller ID on her phone. NOTE: If any of you still have the check in hand, go to the nearst bank that it is drawn from and see if the account is valid and the funds are available. If you can't atleast call the bank - they will verify it for you. Tell them you think it may be a scam. I have been on pins and needles since I did this and I hope God will see me through it if everything hits the fan.
