My Mother, Audra, received a notice saying she had one a 2nd Prize of $150,000 in a contest.
Enclosed was a 'check' for 4,685 dollars to pay for some 'processing fee' that she had to use in order to receive the rest of the prize.
Of course, this was fake; it is illegal for a company to charge 'processing fees' for a monetary prize. The only money a person has to pay for a 'prize' would be taxes.
ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT! (And, as the old-saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.)
