I recieved a letter in the mail saying that i had won a sweepstakes from a customer rewrds program. I have a few rewards cards and I always call and do the surveys and enter the sweepstakes on my receipt so I really thought this was real. They sent a check for $900 along with the letter saying I had won $9,700 and to call the number and claim my prize. So i did after depositing the check the women I spoke to instructed me that the check was for my taxes on my winnings. That they calculated my taxes and thats what i would use to pay then and i needed to go to wal-mart and purchase a moneypak and load the money on it. So i did... And she told me to not scratch off the back or no one would except it. She asked me for a reference number and the activation number. The following day i gat a call from my bank telling me i was overdrawn in my account! By over $1,000. And the money on the moneypak is gone so im left with nothing. This is the worst thing that could have happened to my family right now.
