STARLUCK CASINO SCAMS

Company: STARLUCK CASINO
Address : 145 Younge St. Suite 330, Toronto, United States


On Dec. 22, 2006, I received a bogus check from STARLUCK CASINOS.

Not admitting to being a total idiot, I waited until my bank opened and had them look at the check -- which to my eye looked real.

If you get one of the these checks, look at the logo. You will see the letters and the art design are of different hues of blue or black. That is because they took the red and black logo off the internet and placed it on the check with photoshop in black and white. (The red hue will appear grayish in black and white.)

On my check, the words PAY TO THE ORDER OF was misspelled to read
PAY TO THE ORDE R OF which does not fly with most banks.

You may also find at the top right hand corner, the words US DOLLAR DRAFT (official check). If the check was issued in the US. the check woud not read US DOLLAR DRAFT and yet the check says at the lower left hand corner that it is payable through HSBC BANK USA LOS ANGELES.

One might suggest that if you live in the LA, you go immediately to the HSBC BANK located there and cash it. I have called HSBC BANK in Los Angeles at 11:30 am on Thursday and there is no answer. Nobody picks up.

Another suggestion lead by greed is to go to the HSBC BANK in person and cash the check. But remember, if you cash the check, the bad guys have your signature.

Calls to The Publishers Clearing House, who should really be aware and go after these guys, go unanswered. Theft is being done in their name and they don't care. So watch yourself.

On the back of the check you will find no phone number of the banks to which you or the bank can call if there is a problem with the check.
