I received a letter claiming I had won $95,000.00 from some unknown sweepstakes.included was a check (and the originating bank says it looks very real) for $2980.00
I was supposed to deposit the check and then send the same amount in cash via Western Union to an address that was to be given to me when I called for further instructions. Once the funds via the Western Union were confirmed to have been sent, I was supposed to call a designated number again. Then, they were supposed to send the remaining winnings via UPS to my address.
Don't believe it if you get it! The check is drawn on Citizen's Bank in Phila, PA. I went to this bank and they confirmed with their fraud department that the check is fraudulent. Don't let them get you! Be smart!
