Today, March 13th 2013, I received a check for $3,990.00 and a letter in an envelope from Canada. It stated that I had won $150,000.00 US dollars in a Mega Lottery that was conducted in the UK, and I was also one of the 19 declared winners of the winning programs held on January 25, 2013 in the second category. The ticket serial number is 408662257 and drawing numbers are: 40-56-78-81-03. Whats crazy is that the Payers name on the check is US Buildings, LLC out of Boone NC and the check is from First Citizens Bank & Trust Company also with a Boone NC address. Both this Company and Bank exist in NC and are most definately not affiliated with this scam. After some research and seeing the scam alerts and reports I can tell you that this is a major SCAM.

- The check is fake and no legit company or entity will just send you a check and ask you to deposit it and wire them money. That's what they're asking for isn't it? Just google "nigerian scam".

- And why is your reported damages $150,000? You didn't lose anything did you? The "winnings" don't exist and unless you sent money your damages are zero. The alarming thing here is that you gave out your name and address by falling for some scam earlier or by posting it in public. You can expect to get many fake checks in the coming months. Just toss them in the trash if they ask you to deposit and send money. NEVER deposit them and draw funds before the check clears the bank it was written on.(which is usually a fake bank, a fake account, or a real account but a either way, it's a fake check.
