Gateway Financial Services Compensation Draw Winner $250,000 with fake check Calgary, Alberta Canada
I received a very real looking check for $4515.00 in the mail today from Gateway financial Services claiming that I was one of the winners in their "Compensation Draw". I tend to sign up for a lot of sweepstakes offers so I figured I would call and find out more information. Afterwards, I looked them up online to find out they are a scam.
