FIRST ALLIED INTERNATIONAL CO. (Mr. Frank Edward)" is a fake lottery and "claims agent" based probably in Canada and Nigeria.
The criminals send fake cashier's checks to the victims, supposedly as a loan to pay taxes on the lottery prize. If the victims cash them and forward the money, they will in effect wire their own funds abroad, as the checks will bounce and the full amount becomes due for repayment to the bank. This is a similar scam to "SWISS PROMO LOTTERY (Dr. Henry Lewis, overseasassetmanagement.com)".
Please send us copies of such spam and any replies by "claims agents" you have have received. If you receive a check, do not touch it and do not deposit it. Instead contact the RCMP in Toronto so they can run forensic tests (fingerprints!).
