I recieved a letter in the mail stating I had won $250,000.00 it said to call 011-44-772-274-6190, it said I had won November18th of 2010... Supposedly sent a letter December 22nd of 2011.. If I didnt respond in 3 weeks Id have to forfeit my winnings. So I called and everything SOUNDED good I spoke with "Mark Freeman" he told me I had won because of the shoppers servey... I always do those & thought it was legit... My name had been entered into that lottery which won the 2nd category of $250,000.00 at no cost to me and they will deduct the proper federal taxes and blah blah... Well in 6 days I recieved a check for $4,995.00.. Im to deposit this into my checking account and then call this Mark Freeman back for him to set me up with a tax agent. That Im supposed to give $3200.00 for the federal taxes then the rest of the money, $245,015.00 was comming within 24hours, well I called the bank on the check. First Midland Bank and they told me it was a scam and NOT to deposit it and to fax them a copy of it... WHY? Why does this have to happen to good people and get their hopes all up. My family and I could really have used that money and its the worst feeling in the world. Im just so glad I didnt deposit it then supposedly in 24 hours he would fed ex the rest of the money to me... Bologna... Its the worst scam ever!!!
