I could not believe it. I had received a letter in the mail one day stating that I had won a sweepstakes in the 2nd category from a group of companies in North America. It stated that my name was attached to a certain sweepstakes number and had the nerve to have a serial number that drew the lucky numbers for me.
Inside the letter was a check made out to me in the amount of 2,900USD which was suppose to be deducted from my winnings of 50,000 out of a total prize of 1MillionUSD. I called the number that was on it and a foreign man answered the phone saying to go ahead and cash the check then let him know when Im done.
When I made that attempt the bank stated it would be on hold for a couple of days due to the amount and I called the man back letting him know he said ok call me when it goes thru so I can process it. I never got a chance to do that because it never went through, instead the bank eventually caught it as counterfeit and caused my account to close out.
When I attempted to call the man back to let him know what happened a woman answered, I told her and she just hung up on me.
I should have known this was a scam all along, and I see someone else on here went through the same thing as me, so... To everyone watch out, dont trust them!
