OLGC Financial Group?

Question

I recieved an Award claim notification letter containing a check for almost $5000.00. In the letter it tells me to call and speak to the claim agent. The agent I was told to call was out for the day but I did speak with a man, he barely spoke English and was hard to understand. In the letter it says I am to western union or Moneygram $4000.00 of first check to cover taxes so that rest of "winnings" can be released. The gentleman on the phone verified this and gave me a name and address. BEFORE I even consider doing this, has anyone ever heard of this before?? If you contact me (leave your e mail) I will send you a pic of letter and check. I have been burnt before by someone pretending to be a lottery company. My winnings are said to be 250,000.00.

Answer 1

Did you buy a lottery ticket?
If not this is a scam. I get about five per day.
Just delete it and ignore it..

Answer 2

I received a letter just like it on Friday, November 10, 2006. The letter head and check has the name of OLGC Financial Group imprinted. Of course I'm hoping that this would be true but I believe it is a scam. I have not been able to reach the Disbursement Agent, keep me in the loop of any new developments - I will do the same. I think all these people trying to get your bank account number should be arrested. There should be a law to protect people from fraudulent advertisments like this.

Answer 3

SCAM!!

The check will bounce but only after you send the $4k.

Do not call them back. Throw the check away or give it to the police.
