More letters going out in the National Lottery scam

Your daily Letter to the Columnist – Dec. 3, 2012

Mr. Casey,

This check scam is alive and well.

I also received a $3,750 check this week at my home in Atmore, AL. I “won” 230K.

I called today and the man who answered told me to go ahead and deposit the check Monday and call him for further info. It appears this scam has been going on for more than five years now with no government intervention.

I plan to report this to local authorities Monday.  Probably a waste of time here also.

My check was from Nasco, 901 Janesville Avenue, Fort Atkinson, WI 53538.  Drawn on Johnson Bank, 245 N. Main,  Racine, WI 53402-3108.   Nasco appears to be a legitimate coupon company.

Thought you may be interested in this info.

Thanks for your time and posting.

Mike D
ATMORE, ALA.

    I received letter and check in mail from US Buildings, LLC, 365 Industrial Park Drive, Boone,NC 28607 drawn on a bank, First Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Letter head is THE NATIONAL LOTTERY, stating I won $150,000 and check is $3,750 to pay the non resident tax and processing fees. They are even saying they are affiliated with Walmart, Sears, Amazon, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc…. I did an Internet search and found a Steel Building company that has several spam complaints pertaining to steel buildings with this name and address.

About this blog

    Metro Columnist Dan Casey knows a little bit about a lot of things but not a heck of a lot about most things. That doesn't keep him from writing about them, however. So keep him honest!

    He welcomes your rants, raves and considered opinions, so long as the language is civil (i.e. no four-letter words). He'll read all your posts and may or may not respond.
