Received a letter "winning final notification" from Greenwich Securities, Inc. International Claims Dept. 100 Front St, Morriston Ont H4N-3L4 with call back No 1-(416) 827-3905.  The letter had a check for $4980.00 and a request to call the sender before attempting to cash the check.  I called the bank instead and I was informed that the check is fraudulent. (Firstrust Savings Bank, Southhampton, PA 18966) Beware..the check looks very real!  I pray to God that no one gets taken advantage of by this scam that keeps showing up every-so-often.

I to was almost a believer, I went to Western Union to give the money he told me it was a scam. So he yahoo Lewis McGregor and came up on rip off alert. One thing you pay taxes yearly & you never give money to get money. If you need to pay the taxes you would have pay it to the U.S. Government not the Canadian Government not to a person in Canada. I notify the bank, notify the news channels & the sheriff  department on this scam.

OMG my dad received this letter too from Zurich financial securities and he wanted to know who this was so i told him i would google it that is crazy! hope nobody falls for it!

Actually the number in my letter was (416) 731-9361 (Toronta, Canada) and it was Waterbury Securities out of New York, NY on the letter.  The check had Waterbury Securities out of Naples, Fl.  When I did a search on the address in Naples it was a company called Inovo and they were an oxygen, healtcare implement provider.  The check was drawn on Liberty Bank.  The names in the letter were Lewis McGregor and Barbara Bryan.
