American Mega Lottery Payment
Complaint 257668 Details

Recieved an unmarked envelope with a stamp from Canada without any information on it about the sender. In the envelope was a letter from American Mega Lottery Payment; stating that it was the final notice <without prejudice> and that my name came up this month which drew the lucky number 07-10-23-56-77 and the result match $250,000.00 and that American Mega Lottery had been contracted to find winners who had not claimed their winning and help them through the claimainng process. The letter demanded absolulte co-opperation from my end as part of the official law and protocol as mandated by Federal and State regulations on sweepstakes winnings. There was also a check issued by progressive casualty insurance company in the amount of $3950.00 which would help me take care of taxes, insurance and shipping fees. The letter also mentioned that a representative from CAPITAL DIRECT LOTTERY SWEEPSTAKES who is already in my area would hand deliver the $250,000.00 check to my door step directly afater i completed the claim. To initiate the claiming process i was to contact claims agent Mark Cole #1-647-447-2507. The letter also had a pin#BRCS/887AAP that was asssigned to my name as this would idedntify me whenever i made contact with American Mega Lotter Payment. So out of curiosity i made the phone call to claims agent Mark Cole who answered the phone and asked if i had spoken to some else and i said no. He further instructed me to bring the check and deposit it in my bank and give him a call as soon i had made the deposit so he could give me the number to the tax agent who would help me with tax aspect of the claim. Obviously i never took the check to my bank coz something smelled fishy; after about and hour i called agent Mark Cole and asked him why the check wasnt from American Mega Lottery Payment! He said that progressive insurance was the one handling the insurance aspect of the claimed. When i asked him about the complaints filed aganist his company he hang up. This compapny is a scam if you recieve any letters or calls from them, tell them you know who they are SCAM ARTIST prying on unsuspecting individuals and they will drop the phone like a hot potato. Hope this helps spread the word and you dont become a victim.
