Well i feel pretty stupid! I was immediately apprehensive and suspicious when i recieved a check for $4,280.60 but after i called the company and spoke with the Account-Rep, I actually had a glimmer that it might be real. The rep told me to call him back the day after i deposited the check into my checking account to get additional information on how to send the money to pay the taxes ($2,900.00)on the winnings. After i paid the taxes it would release the rest of the winnings in the amount of $165,719.40. I was not, however, quite so naive as to deposit the check and call them back immediately. I deposited it....but asked my bank to put a hold on it until it cleared. I told the teller that i was worried it might be fraud. Once it cleared and i knew it was real, at that time i planned to call the company back. It turned out I was a bit impatient. I deposited the check on the 19th of September, a wednesday. The check has a hold on it until Wednesday the 26th but I decided to call them today (on Monday)and go ahead and get the information i needed to send the tax money to them. I called from my house phone and left a message for Chris Johnson, my account Rep. He didnt return my call. I called from my cellular phone a little while later and still got a voicemail. Both messages asked me to input my number to recieve a call back. At that time i was really beginning to get suspicious so i called back and spoke with a customer service rep. She told me it was lunch time there and for me to call back in 30 minutes. When i called back the number 1-416-628-7620 now has a message that states, "Your UNIVERSAL OFFICE ACCOUNT has been temporarily placed on hold. Please contact customer service. Goodbye." Funny but it leaves no number for you to contact customer service. I have attempted to call back from both my sons cellular phones also, it doesnt matter what phone i call from, i still get that same message. I told my husband i was not going to get my hopes up before the check cleared. I'm glad i was at least smart enough to ask my bank to put the check on hold until it cleared. Obviously after reading your comments i now know for certain its fraud. i wish i had read these comments before i even attempted to call the company
