I was mailed a check ofr 3900.00 along with a letter stating that i had won a consumer lottery that was held on 20 june. After many attemps to cintact me, they mailed this letter and check.in order to collect the rest of my winning (39,000.00) i would first have to deposit or cash this check to pay the taxes.
I tried to contact the number that was suppied and i rec'd a answering machine that was full. I took the check and the letter to the bank that i use and they confirmed that the check was a scam. The bank that the check was drawn on is real, but the check was not. My bank sent the check, letter, and the envelope to their fraud department and they are planning to prosecute if they find out who is doing this. So if you receive a check, do not cah it. Take it to your local bank and give it to them.
