This company informs you that you have won a lottery through North American Utilities. They send the letter with a check which you are meant to deposit into your account in order to pay the taxes before claiming your prize and asks you to call in order to get more information on getting your prize money. My guess is that once you call they will tell you to deposit the check then promptly write a check to the company holding your prize money and mail it to them - the scam comes in when you have already mailed them a check and you then find out that their check which you deposited into your account was not good and now you have mailed them your own money! This scam may be targeting seniors - BEWARE!
