I was sent a letter stating I was one of the declared winners of the International Shoppers Lotto PowerBall conducted in North America. Enclosed was a check for $3875.00. Per the instructions of the claim agent listed on the letter, I deposited the check into my bank account, then withdrew $1875.00 from my debit card and sent the funds via Western Union, to two different people in England. The money I was sending was supposively to cover the the government taxes on my winnings. The check came back to my bank, as being no good. I hadn't spent any of the rest of the check, but lost the $1875.00 I sent Western Union, the money I spent to sent it and was also charged a bank fee.
