Victim Location 62301
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Received a letter in the mail from Investec, claiming I was the 2nd prize winner in the second category of the European, African and USA consumer sweepstakes in conjunction with the USA Departmental Stores. I had a serial number and claim number and was instructed to call my claims agent Julia Vander in order to claim my $*** winnings. They even included a check for $*** to help me pay for the processing fee which is $***. I called Julia and she verified that I had won, but she instructed me to cash the check first and then call her back so I could send the processing fee. I’m sure that the check is fake and then I would be out the money I sent to them.
