Received letter dated 11/24/2011 stating that I had won $200,000.00 US from a drawing held on July 5, 2011. Enclosed was a "real" looking check for $4,956.20, drawn from a Key Bank National Association in Vermillion, Ohio. This check was to cover insurance and administration fees for the $200,000.00. Was to contact a Customer Care Rep named MONTEL ARIZA at 1-778-891-8733 for verification of claim number. The letter was signed ERIC MORALES, Prize Award Administrator with the telephone number 1-778-323-6788 and fax number 1-847-223-4545.
At the bottom of the letter the following companies were listed:
Zellers
K-Mart
macy's
WalMart
Target
The Home Depot
Sears
BBB
The listing of these real companies, which, I assume, are not aware that their names are being used in this scam, can make one believe that this is real.
I also reported this to the FBI

Matt - look up the name of the insurance company on the check. I believe the website is www.natl.com it has a warning on there stating that the check is fraudulent.
Alex - my local authorities told me to submit a claim with the FBI because they were looking for these people....I just did what I was told to do. -

- You just failed, I said I dont live in the US. I don't call the FBI nor even send them an email. Because I am not a gay snitch.
