Thank you for confirming what I already thought. I have received two letters, each with a check in it for $2,750.15, claiming that this was covering the $1,750.00 tax amount and giving me the other $1,000 towards my $50,000 winnings. I thought it seemed suspect, especially since my last name was spelled incorrectly. Thank you for validating my suspicions.

I got the same in the mail today this Fred munata guy he actually talked to me but it was sum lady in the back idk but I'm glad to know its a scam! They trying to get our tax money that's all need to get out and get a job

I  receive the same letter in the mail today,, same number and same name.. of the amt of 2750.15 and the winning of 50,000.. i will not be pursuing this ,, cause i know its a scam

this is not the first time i have recieved this kind of thing. the first was several years ago and we found out upon attempting to deposit the check that it was a scam. i told them off then telling them they were going to hell. this "rude guy" is probably the same i told off so many years ago. he should make sure he doesn't target the same people over and over again. if i could make this call (my plan does not allow it) i would tell him off again.

I got a letter with a check for $998.96.

I got the same letter stating that I won $50,000 had to send in $1750, and got to keep $1,000 of it. Cashier's check was for $2750.15
I called "Fred Munata* and he asked me my name, i said "jamie" and he said rudely, Call me back in 20 mins and then hung up. If that wasn't rude and creepy, no way did I call back. Came to google and came across this page, and another stating that any cashier's checks from canada are fraud.

received check in mail with a letter stating i won 50,000 and the check of 2,750.15 was to be deposited in my account to pay taxes on my winnings. my actual tax would be 1750.00 and the extra 1,000 would be mine to keep. i contacted fred munata and the guy was hostile with a thick accent speaking fast and didnt want to divulge any real information about the winnings. all he needed me to do is deposit a check on wed that wouldnt be available until fri. i was already skeptical and his demeanor on the phone confirmed it. thanks random mail lottery fraud scammer

just got this item in the mail today.  same number but the amount of the check is 2750.15 of wich 1750.00 is the tax amount to be paid on the prize amount of 50000.00.  never heard of having to activate a cashiers check.  i am to contact fred munata.

I received the same type of letter with a check for $998.96 requesting that I pay my "tax agent" (upfront) and a processing fee before the money could be released. The reward was from the Consumer Rewards Program. Same agent and same phone number; Torrent Inc. and Henry Meyers.

How did you determine that the check was bogus?

Did you find this out by doing it??

I received an envelop in which there is a check of $989.96 and a letter of promising to send me more $9,000.00 because I have won a Consumer Rewards Program. The letter says that I have to contact Rachel Wayne, Claim Agent at 905-598-5405. The company located in Canada, supporting for the winner is Torrent Inc and Promotion Manager is Henry Meyers.
All is false.
