Is the London Mega2000 Imperial Random Drawing a scam???

Answer 1

is thismega2000 drawing ascam

Answer 2

If its some e-mail or letter you've recieved out of the blue...then its 100% a scam. The name sounds lke someone made it up without thinking.. its just goobledegook.

I live in London and have never heard of it. The only genuine "random draw" is the national lottery.

Answer 3

yessirree it is. I received what looked to be a real check, printed on expensive watermark paper, even had perforations. I took it to a bank in town, and they called Square 1 bank. Apparently, the signature on the check is not the authorized signer. should you choose to try and cash the check, you will not only end up paying back the money, but you will get a return check fee from the bank as well. I reported them to my bank. DO NOT CASH THE CHECK OR GIVE THEM ANY PERSOAL INFORMATION OR BANK INFO. If you still want to try and cash it, i recommend you open up an account solely for depositing, and wait to see if the check clears before spending.

Answer 4

I just received one of these checks in the mail and am pretty sure, after reading your posts, that it is a scam. My guess is, these are stolen checks and they're wanting YOU to cash them and send them the money, that way THEY don't get caught. For instance, mine check is from "Chinese Cafes of America, INC". I'll bet when I give them a call in the morning, they will confirm that they have had some checks stolen.

Answer 5

YES THIS IS A SCAM!!!!
We were stupid to fall for one earlier, and when we called them to let them know that there check bounced there only reply was that they would have someone call us back in 5 minutes. That was a week ago. I just think that it is real funny that they think that we would be stupid enough to fall for it a second time. Does any one know of who or how to report something like this or are we just out of luck??

Answer 6

Yeah we got one too. I googled the address on the check and called the company. They said it was a scam and they know were the perpitrators are trying this fraud. They told me thanks and that i was smart to call about it and find out a little bit more information. He simply told me to destroy the check however i contacted another company effected with this scam and they told me to notify the post office.

Answer 7

It is definitely a scam. I called the bank that the check was drawn on and the manager told me that it is a scam.

Answer 8

This is really a 'scary' one, since the people send you money in advance by check, with the letter, they send. Try to cash the check they send. Is it real? Next, they insist that you send back almost all of this check, to pay taxes, or something, to get your big bucks. Now, this is what I did, after chatting on the phone with them, knowing something was UP: I listened to the lady on the phone. I, just needed to make sure this was all phony, took the check to the bank, without giving information to the lady. Afterall, I am supposed to send most of the money back to them. The bank, actually took the check, but, it is still pending. I felt silly, still do, but, I still have not given them any information about myself. Right now, since the check was accepted by a teller and a supervisor, I am waiting to see if the check clears. If it does, I am about $3,000 ahead. If it doesn't, I haven't told them anything, and I have lost nothing. I still say, I have not given them any info about myself, and knowing that they expect me to send them most of this money back to them, they may have made this check for real, to bait me. So, for sure, if the check gets off pending, I will just leave it in the bank for a while to see if it is real.......I have not given any info to them, this is what is important to me. I don't want identity theft by them knowing my license number, bank acct. details, social security number or anything at all. JUST do not give ANY information! Be safe.

Answer 9

all info you require can be got from the national lottery web site.
as already answered if it was an e-mail delete it its a scam,nobody gives you thousands or millions for nothing,if you have won why have you not had the money without paying anything in advance.

Answer 10

YES! IT'S DEFINITELY A SCAM! I AM WORKING AT THE BANK AND I JUST GOT A CHECK FROM MEGA 2000. I VERIFIED THE THE ACCOUNT FROM SQUARE 1 BANK (TEL# [phone])AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY SAID IT'S A FRAUD ACCOUNT. I HOPE YOU WON'T BE A VICTIM OF THIS SCAM.
