SCAM ALERT: Individuals are receiving Canadian Lottery checks that are drawn on MBank

April 27, 2011
Lottery Scam -

This is now the most popular of the counterfeit check scams, probably because of the high level of success that the scammers have had with it. It is also very difficult to detect because the checks are usually lower dollar amounts (less than $5,000 in most cases). The victim will receive a letter or e-mail notification informing them that they have won a lottery or sweepstakes. They are given a counterfeit check to finance the taxes and fees associated with collecting the prize. They are asked to cash or deposit the check and wire the money to an individual who is collecting the “tax”. The reason this is so successful is that it plays on an American dream. Also, most times there is a contact phone number that the person can call, of course it is the scammer himself on a non-traceable cell phone who is safely outside the U.S. The victims are also told not to disclose their good fortune until they collect their grand prize. The scammers have seemingly plugged all of the holes in their other scams with this one and it is very successful.

Skip these offers and don’t send any money. Destroy the check.
