I recieved a letter in the mail today saying I had won $250,000. So I decide to call the company, because they sent me a check worth $4,925.00. They said I should deposit the check and after I deposit the check I should send them $3500 in taxes for the $250,000.
I knew something was wrong then, so I called my bank and explained the situation and they said it was a scam. After that I called all the businesses on the letter. Neither business had heard of North American Direct Sweepstakes And Promotion Co. So if you recieve one of these letters in the mail you should contact your bank before cashing because you could be out of a lot of money.
I've never had scams look so convincing as this one, so beware. They told me it was for donating money to my charity. I asked wich one and they said they would have to look it up it could take a week. It's sad that people know right now we are hurting from money loss that they would take advantage of that. Maybe the government will see this and take charge and get these idiots...
