Called the number, the lady stated to cash or deposit the check and call back. I cheked with the company and found this site, same scam as all of the other people on this site.

Yep! I received a check and letter from First Access Securities,Inc.  The letter stated that I was a sweepstakes winner of $250,000. They were sending a incentive check of $4,995.00, and out of that to send $2,995.00 for taxes. First there was no return address, which made me suspicious.  Second, the bank was in Havre, Montana, the company in Seattle, Washington, and the letter came Ontario.  Way too many places to believe it was real.  I too would like to catch these low lifes.  Especially, at this time when many people need money.  
Watch out and be mindful of what you get.  Nothing is ever for free.

Called the number 905-781-2729 and was told to cash the check and call back for tax info. I called the better Better Business Bureau, and they said this was a scam. If you cash this check, you can be reliable for the funds after the check bounces. But you will be responsible for the returned check fees. Plus I was advised that cashing this check, could give the criminals access to my account. If you receive any check from Gold Star Securities Inc. out of Midland, Ontario, the Better Business Bureau would like you to call 1-+1 888-495-8501. We need to stop these foreign criminals, and show the that you cannot take advantage of us Americans any longer.Caller ID: UnknownCaller: 1-905-781-2729
