My elderly neighbor friend got the same letter from Coastcapital Financial Serviced, (which I couldn't find anywhere in the Better Business Bureau or internet), with a check for $3850, saying he had to deposit a check from MGL(USA), and then send them a check for $3500 to get his winnings of $245,000 in a sweepstakes he entered.  I looked up the cellular phone number,1788 387-5904 listed as the 'claims agent' and traced it to BC Canada. I called the bank JPMorgan Chase Bank 626-576-7081 which is listed on the check and they said that it is a fraud and a scam, they've already received several, do not deposit. Please send checks and claims letters with info to the bank at 459 South Atlantic Boulevard, Monterey Park, CA 91754, for assistance in their investigation.

I to recieved a letter from the same people and promotional manager. I tried calling the number but it said calling restrictions so i never talked to anyone. I know i wouldn't deposit any thing in my account maybe go try cashing the ceck @ a ceck cashing place pay the percent they charge and keep the rest of the money. Screw them out of there money

Received the check also all the same info as above - is any body doing anything with these people?we report it here but is it going any farther? It makes me sick all the scams going on and we don't hearif any body is getting arrested.

Michael,have you been reading any of the other comments posted. This IS a scam. The check that they send you is counterfeit so now you have deposited a counterfeit check into your account. A lot of people go back to their bank after a couple of days to see if the check has "cleared" Most people think this means that the check is OK. (It does not) and they think the money is actually in their account .This is what the scammers are hoping that people will think. So now they want you to take out a certain amount of money out of your bank account and send a money transfer to pay them for a non-existing "proccesing fee".This check is bogus so don't expect to be making any money from this. I just hope that you will not get in trouble with your bank. Please let us know how things worked out for you.Keep safe.

Received a letter a week ago showing a claim number GF-647-513-CA saying I had won a second prize in the second category of the USA Mega draw held on June 10th, 2012 (I know I never even entered a sweepstakes).  Serial # is 2923534 and they enclosed what looked like a check in the amount of $4685.00 supposedly to cover the processing fee of $3950.00 which I needed to send, after speaking with the claim agent Mark Benson@011-34-603-220-500.  Anytime someone asks for a processing fee, the red flags go up.  This has scam written all over it!  The business name on this so-called check is Footmaxx of Virginia,Inc.  P.O.Box 12611 Roanoke, VA 24027-2611 and the Bank name shown on the check is Wachovia, 201 S. Jefferson, 2nd Floor, Roanoke, VA 24011-1706. The Check # 15577 and the # to deposit it is 68-54/514.   The routing and acct #  015577  051400549  2000055569109.  I'm certain that there is no such account.   The instructions state to contact Mark Benson, with a NOTE: Please do not act on this notice until you contact your claim agent to avoid cases of misappropriation and mishandling of winning.    Below that was "We are very pleased and excited for you.     Then the typed Name, Paul Morgan    Promotion Manager,I've seen this exact letter mentioned on another internet site that reports scams.

The phone number is different (778) 387-5904) but it is the same type of message.  My husband David is said to have won $245,000.00.  He was sent a check in the amount of $3,850.00 to cover the processing fee of $3,500.00.  We received this information in the mail, after not accepting calls from a 778 area code.   Paul Morgan is the promotion manager and claims agent is Allen Johnson.  
I am afraid that too many may fall for this scheme and find themselves involved in a big scam. The check is supposedly written on an account in Cincinnati, Oh.  Drop Box.

Sincerely, Louise Murguia
