I enter lots of sweepstakes so when I received a letter telling me I had won $60,000.00 & to call a # for more instructions to collect it, I was skeptical but knew it wasn't impossible. They asked for no money & no bank info. As a matter of fact, in 3 days, I received a cashier's check from them for $3,280.00.
My husband first cashed it & then deposited the cash into our account. I was supposed to wire them back $3,000.00 as a Clearance Fee & then they would release my balance check. Because of my bank & my husband, I didn't do it, just left it in the bank & 3 days later they put a stop on the check & withdrew it from my account.
I would have been taken for $3,000.00 & checks would still be bouncing. I had no idea they could go into my bank account without me giving them any information about it. Kinda scary, isn't it?
I just wanted someone to know so maybe other folks won't lose money either.
