I too recently received a notice that I was the winner of a $150,000.00 sweepstakes with an initial check enclosed in the amount of $3,990.00 to be cashed and used for a "tax amount before my lump sum winnings" would be provided.
I took the check to a check cashing facility in my town, I definitely was not going to deposit this into my bank! And was informed that it is indeed a fraudulent check and was told not to try and cash it. I then called a certain Nicole Hamilton to ask why they are mailing fraudulent checks and she did not seem the least bit worried or surprised. She explained, strange accent and all, that she was just doing her job. I then told her that her job consists of mailing fraudulent checks and she said that she knew!
People beware! They are beyond unscrupulous and are evidently operating from Helena, Montana under the guise of A&A Associates, LTD.
