I got a letter from the Rotterdam International Lotto stating that I won 85,000 dollars. They also sent a check for 1998 intended to pay for the taxes. The check cleared so i cashed it and called them back. They instructed me to wire the money through moneygram to an individual they claimed was the tax person to pay. I went grocery shopping a few days later and my atm card got declined. I checked with my bank and they said that the check that they sent me was a bad check and that it was returned. I called the number that they had immediately and told the lady that the check was returned, she then put me on hold for a minute and hung up on me. I've been trying to call back ever since and there is no answer. I now owe my bank 1998 dollars. I feel so stupid for falling for this. I figured since they had a phone number and that I talked to an actual person, that this was the real thing.
