October 5, 2005 Update
Complainant reported she moved several weeks ago. She discovered some checks missing after the move. She cancelled her account, however discovered someone tried to use her checking account number to perform a transaction at a car rental company.
Complainant received a letter announcing she won an on-line gambling lottery for $55,000.00. A cashier's check for $3937.00 was attached for "administrative fees" necessary to process and claim the prize money. Complainant called telephone number and spoke to a male who advised to deposit the cashier's check and send a personal check in that amount to an address in Toronto, Ontario. Complainant did not fall for the scam.
