We received a very official-looking letter and a professionally-cut check from Primerica Life Insurance Company in the amount of $3,880. The letter stated that we had won International Lotto Powerball from the United Kingdom. I knew that it was a scam after reading half the letter (it had spelled winning "wining.") We weren't fooled into depositing the money, which required us then to pay administrative fees and taxes. We called the Federal Trade Commission to report the letter. You can reach them at 1 (877) FTC-HELP or (1-877-382-4357. I'm afraid an elderly person will be fooled by this horrible scam.
