They sent me a letter saying I won $55,400.00 and a check for $2950.00 to cover taxes "at my local tax office" with directions to call for futher instructions.
I called before depositing and asked for the person listed on the letter. He told me that his company represented PCH and Readers Digest and online gaming sites. After giving him the claim number from the letter he asked my name, age, address and how long at residence.
The next question had me very seriously doubting this claim. He asked if I had entered any sweepstakes or contest in the past 3 months. When I said no he responded that my name had been randomly drawn from a data bank of online subscribers. When I asked what data bank he would not give me an answer and told me I only had 48 hrs from time of calling him for the check to clear or all prize money would be forfieted. He also told me to not share this letter with anyone or monies would be forfieted.
Watch out for this scam because they are a real online gaming company with no intention of paying.
