My mother (senior citizen) received the letter stating she had won a sweeptstakes based in the U.K. based on her shopping habits. Before any payout of winnings, a non-resident tax had to be paid. A check to cover that tax was included with the letter. Rob Walters was the claim agent and Jasmine Stephens was the Promotions Director.
The company on the letterhead and check is Vestil Manufacturing Corporation, which is an actual company but it specializes in industrial equipment. The bank on the check is Keybank National Association, Elkhart Indiana 46515 which is an actual bank.
Anyway, I wrote the local authorities (Las Vegas PD) and included a copy of the letter and check. I even contacted Vestil Manufacturing too.
it is just a scam people throw it away
i got a letter saying that i won 175,000 Because i was shopping at walmart, best buy, home depot, etc. And in the letter it tells you to deposit 1,900 for taxes, but its just a scam. The check will bounce and you will owe that money, so pass the word around so we can stop this a hole from doing it to other people. Contact every bank you can so they can be aware of this check. Thank you

I just contacted the Las Vegas PD about this so I hope it helps.
I received the same type of letter. How many people actually fall for it? Some must, or they would not continue.
I also got the same check and instructions to call Rob Walters...so glad I checked this site...because this definetely is "a too good to be true" situation.
