I was notified by mail by Sally A. Walter, Disbusrsement Manager Phoenix Inc., Phoenix Financial Trust that I am a Category 'C' Winner of the international EURO-Lotto Group for $53,000. Enclosed was a cashier's check for $2,640 purportedly to cover taxes for the winning.

The letter instructs to call first Mr. David Davis (1 647 832 3549). I was able to talk to Mr. Davis who instructed me to deposit the check and withdraw the same in cash and thereafter call him again. I followed the instruction and deposited the check. I went on line banking and when It showed that the amount is available, I withdrew the money. I called Mr. Davis for the next instruction. He told me to send the amount of $2,365 by moneygram to Robert Digby New York, New York. He assured me that Robert Digby is a tax agent.

I smelled something fishy at this point and investigated. I chanced upon this website (ripoffreport.com) and found out that someone has been victimized with the supposed payment for tax on the lottery winning. I did not send the money and eventually was notified by my bank that the check was returned to my bank. It must have been a bogus certified cashier's check.

I am keeping the letter from Phenix Financial Trust and the letter from my bank informing me of the return of the check and I made written memos of my conversation with Mr. David Davis.
