i received this thing in the mail from ';Nova Financial Group';
it was a letter along with a check for $5000,
the letter says its a final winning notification
- it claims i am a ';lucky'; winner in the 1st and 2nd quarters of its lottery (its from germany, i'm in the U.S.)
i'm supposedly now entitled to the sum of U.S. $250,000
then the letter states my ';batch/serial number'; and a claim number..and a telephone number i should call for help to ';further process my claim';
obviously its some sort of scam.
well the questions are:
how does the scam work? has anyone heard of this sort of thing?
cause from the letter i cant really tell how the people running the
scam would make money
normally they ask you to send money ';to receive your prize';
thats not the case here, they just send a letter and a check
and theres no small print.
the name of the company is:
Nova Financial Group

Wilheim Str.28
