Is the Irish Random Lotto REALLY a fraud??

Question

I received a check on Fri. 7/14/06. I first thought that it was legitimate because they were not asking me to spend money out of my own pocket but instead was sending me the clearance fees. I then called the phone number listed and first received a voicemail message that said, "mailbox full and unable to receive messages" I called back after about 15 minutes and got Mr. David Rogers (if that was his REAL name). He said I was to take the check to my bank and deposit it and call him back for clearance and He would tell me where I could go LOCALLY to pay the clearance fees and have the $85,000 released to me in about 3 days via. Federal Courier. Well, I thought all of this was TOO good to be true so I tried to locate "Royal Imperial Financial Management Group" on the internet using "Google's" search engine with no luck. So then I tried the BBB and struck out AGAIN, now I'm becoming leary. I then entered "Irish Random Lotto" in Google and came up with many scams. This IS A SCAM!!

Answer 5

I recieived my check from the irish random lotto and i tried to cash it at a check cashing place. Unfortunaltly, 2 others had been in there before me and cashed checks for the same amount so the manager was leary. They ran the check and it cleared the bank as well as called the bank on the check and they also said that it was a legit check. However, then he called the renessance hospital on the check and the lady in payroll told him that it was fraudulent check and to keep it there and to call the authorities. I just got a copy of it and left the store. But if u all get a chk like this in the mail u can actuallly take it to the bank listed on the check and cash it there, it will clear and u wont mess up your account at your bank. And u will have a free 3 grand. PS do not send them the "clearence fees" that is how the scam artist get paid!!!
