On the morning of August 24th I received a check from a company by the name of LexFund about a sweepstakes I had won. I then searched for information regarding this company and found that it was a legitimate business. As such, I contacted the phone number listed on the sheet. I asked the person who answered whether this was a legitimate business and filing. I was assured of the validity of LexFund and that I could search for information which would prove its existence. I was informed that in order for the rest of the funds to be dispatched, I would have to first pay the IRS. The following day, I deposited the check in the amount of $3,985.55 in my account. After a couple of days I checked my account online to check on a purchase I had recently made and was unable to log into my account. At first I paid not attention and thought perhaps I had just inputted incorrect information. Today, I actually called the bank and found out that my account was set up to be closed due to my depositing a counterfeit check in the account and my supposed attempt to defraud the bank.
