Prizemasters International

Just to let people know this scam is still ongoing. You receive a phone call from a company called Prizemasters International who state they are based in Toronto Canada, saying that you are in the final 10 for a prize draw, then a few days later another call to tell you that you are a winner, and they will keep you informed, you will be issued with a bankers draft from the Royal Bank of Canada for your winnings, but of course you must keep this a secret and not tell anyone as you wouldn't want people knocking on your door would you?.....then comes the sting- you just need to pay international taxes on your winnings before they can be sent to you, and you are lucky, you only need to pay £800..........Please do not be conned and do not send any money. ANYTHING WHICH SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE USUALLY IS.

I'd ask them to take the fees out of my winnings first, cutting out the middleman, oh and cash if preferable.
