Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I received a letter from this company claiming I had won $550,000 dollars and inside the letter was a check for $7,897.00 that I would need to deposit, then send a certified check in my name to "satisfy official Laws and Income Tax Protocols mandated by the US Government." I was also to contact my claims agent before doing anything Austin Porter at 1-437-981-4705.
I was then called on the same day by Richard Porter 646-948-6258. Who then gave me the US Treasury contact info a James Diluigi at 415 Caddis Creek Rd. Irmo, SC 29063. Where I was to mail the certified check. In order to "greenlight" my winnings.
Thanks to the internet I looked up all the addresses to find that they were all houses. Not official businesses and that although the Amegy Bank is real, talking to a bank representative this IS A SCAM.
