I recieved a check in the mail for $3,989. A letter that came with it was stating that I had been the winner for their second quarter drawing of $100,000. (The letter had numerous mistakes.) The check definitly seems real. I called the number, (in Canada, I think) and contacted a Michelle Robinson.
After I called I was put on hold and then told to deposit the check which was for taxes and administrative fees, and then call back to find out how to pay taxes. So I went to my bank and asked them if they could tell me if it was real or not. They said they couldnt tell and to contact the bank listed on the check. So I took it home and thats what I did. The bank said theres no record of it and was very confused. This is definitly a scam and actually they had gotten my uncle about 3 year or so ago! So if I didnt know better, I would have cashed it.
The letter was signed by someone named Rita Howell. They said they got my name from a random drawing thats was slected from publishers clearing house and internet games. This is extremely wrong and something needs to be done. Considering my son was just diagnosed with Autism and I stay at home for him, this is just cruel!
