I recently received a letter, stating that I had won a lottery for the amount of $38000. A check for the amount $3900 was sent as well, to cover applicable tax. I was to notify Gerry Diaz or Teresa Watson at 905-781-1637. Today, I called the FTC, and was told that the scam worked as follows - I would be directed to cash the check, and to send the JFC a money order to get the remander. Of course, the check that they sent me would bounce, and I would be out the $3900. My next step will be to report this fraud to our local post office.
