I got a letter first from a company called virgin lottery and said i won $27,000. so i called they wanted no information just the confirmation number, so about 2 weeks later i recieved a clearance fee check, i called them back and told me to cash the check and western union it to a woman in texas ans if i didn this i would recieve the rest of my money with in 2 -3 days by fed ex. i have not cashed the check yet i was wondering if any one has cashed the check and what has happened since? did you keep the money or send it to the person you were suppose to send it to? help me out people if you can. ive read on here that people have checked into it and it was a scam.

I'm sorry, but this really is a scam. :(





First, do you remember joining this lottery? Second, was the letter you received a registered mail? Third, where is this lottery company based? There probably might be a legitimate company name Liberty lottery, but the people you are dealing with are frauds, and do not really work for the real company. Fourth, if you really won in a legitimate lottery, you woulnd't have to pay anything except for taxes and that's usually already deducted to your winnings, or paid after your collection of the winnings. Bottom line is, you don't have to pay to get something that you were supposed to have won.





Deals that sound too good to be true, are usually scams. :(





Good thing you haven't sent them any money yet, don't!!!
Reply:Take the letter and the check to your local police fraud dept.





They ask you to forward money by western union because it is instant, however the check will bounce for sure. This is a couble edged scam whereby they get money from unsuspecting individuals OR more and more personal details (incl. bank details) as correspondence progresses.
Reply:i got a check also and called it in. i deposit the check to my account and then waited 48 hours to see what would happen to the check the money was there the first 24 hours but was gone after that so i called in the check with my bank and we did confirmed that the checks are a fraud the good thing was that i didn't send that money to any one
