Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
A cashier’s check was sent to me with a note attached saying that i am winner from a drawing. It gave a pin number and telephone number. The total amount won is $500,000 payable by certified check. Enclosed is a check in the amount of $7998.80 which was deducted from my winnings. It also told me to call my claims agent: Ben Kennedy at 1-778-714-0589 to begin my claim process. It was signed Mathew Bennett.
When I called the man would not let me give him the check number that is voided to look up the claim. The guy specifically wanted the pin number from the letter. I told him I was not starting a claim with him and that I would give him the check number instead. After he asked for the pin number two more times and I offered the check number, he hung up on me.
