Answer 1

It's a Scam=Fraud

Answer 2

Lottery Dynamics

Answer 3

I contacted the bank that the check comes from, Carolina First. While Lottery Dynamics is a real company, their identity has been stolen from this Canadian group.Currently Carolina First is doing an investigation on these fraudulent letters and checks. Apparently the identity of the company listed in the top left hand on the checks, has been stolen as well. I just talked to Stephanie in their fraud department she advised me to forward the original copies of letters and check to them. They would appreciate ANY AND ALL letters/checks to be forwarded on to their department:

Carolina First
Corporate Fraud
Attn: Randy White
PO BOX 1029
Greenville, South Carolina 29602

The phone number is 1-800-476-6400 for verification purposes.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Its a fraud, I received something similiar to it, but in the form of a different proposal. they would eventually ask U to send a proprtion of the money as a (guarantee) 2.5% or so (It could be any other fake requirement). Its a verywell studied scam, there's already alot of victimes. just try to call the number provided, U'll instantly get influenced thinking that they're some well respected organizatuion.

dont get fooled, be careful:)

Answer 5

yes this is fraud. I recieved the exact same letter from samantha and my bank manager checked into it for me. It was definately fraudulent. you can enter a complaint (and you should) at ftc.gov

Answer 6

Sounds to good to be true, it is. It just sounds like a scam to get you to release your bank account information. There is no legitamite prize that I know of that charges for the "win".

Answer 7

The money orders will be fake....very good fakes.
You can hand them to a 25yr old bank teller and they wont know the difference.
The checks go in your account.
Your bank "HONOURS" the checks
You send the money to the scammer in Nigeria
The bank sends the check back to the issuing bank (can take up to 6 months)
The Issueing bank refuses to "CLEAR" the check.
Your bank says"Hey...you put in a fake check ....wheres the money?"
You say" I sent it to [insert scammers name here] by western union money transfer(untracable) to that lovely man/woman/both in Nigeria"
The bank says"??? you robbed your own bank???"
You plead Ignorance..."Im innocent" etc
They say "But YOU put the check in our bank...." and you do jail time for bank fraud

"419" scammers....dont ya love 'em
