Published March 20, 2007 10:00 pm - Jerry Akins of Guys Mills thought the letter sent to his son, Justin, saying Justin had won $65,000 in a British lottery was phony — and his bank confirmed it. But the lottery’s tap-in check for almost $3,000 looked too real to pass up. Resident avoids banking nightmare after receiving real-looking ‘winnings’ By Keith Gushard 03/21/07 — Jerry Akins of Guys Mills thought the letter sent to his son, Justin, saying Justin had won $65,000 in a British lottery was phony — and his bank confirmed it. But the lottery’s tap-in check for almost $3,000 looked too real to pass up. A letter from Arco Wentworth Financial in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, claimed Justin had won $65,000 in the “British International Lottery.†All that had to be done was to cash a $2,990.08 “assistance check†to pay the $2,850 in “international clearance fees†in order to collect the prize. The clearance fee cash was then to be forwarded a designated agent. “It didn’t seem right,†Akins told The Meadville Tribune. “He doesn’t play the lottery or enter contests.†The elder Akins took the check to First National Bank of Pennsylvania’s Meadville office and asked if it was valid. Despite its authentic appearance, it was a counterfeit check and wasn’t cashed by Akins. Later, when he made a photocopy of the check to help him warn others, large, black words “VOID†showed up across the check, but they were almost impossible to detect on the face of the dark-blue check itself. “There were a lot of red flags,†said Nancy Hunter, the bank’s assistant manager. “The postmark (on the letter) was Canadian, it was a London lottery and the company on the check was from New York.†Had the check been cashed and it came back as counterfeit, Akins would have been responsible for the money. Bank tellers are trained to question customers if it’s an unusual transaction for a particular customer, Hunter said. “We try to engage them in conversation to find out the check’s origin. Did they sell some lumber or get an insurance settlement? If they say it’s from a lottery, we’re wary.†If a customer insists on cashing the check, the bank will put a hold on it — making sure funds aren’t released until the check clears its home bank. “We want to make sure you’re not taken,†Hunter said. “We hope you won, too.†Last year, the Tribune reported on more than a dozen scam attempts in Crawford County. Cpl. Scott Shipton, of the crime unit at Pennsylvania State Police at Meadville, said the lottery scam comes in various forms and various ways — either via mail, phone call or e-mail. But more importantly, foreign lotteries are illegal. “There’s just so much of it going on right now,†he said of the scam. “It gets reported in waves.†Persons should contact the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General or local police if they suspect they’ve received a scam letter. http://www.meadvilletribune.com/loca...079220007.html
