I received an award letter from switzerland lottery on july 28. It stated that i had won $65,000usd which was a part of a $12,000, 000.00 total which was to be divided among other sweepstake winners, and myself. They also sent a check for $1,990usd which was to pay the taxes on the winnings. When i received the letter i immediately contacted the agent they assigned to me (rachel yates) at the number they provided (1-780-604-9399). When i spoke to ms yates i had her on speaker-phone so that my wife could listen in on the conversation to verify the information. I asked her how i received this honor and she said it was for entering a sweepstakes online. When i asked her about the check she said"that i could either cash it and keeep the $1,990, or send the money back to pay the taxes, and receive $63,010.00 minus the $1,990. I cashed the check the next day. Today aug. 15 i was informed by my bank that the check was sent back, and that it was no-good. Now i'm being penalized for it. When i was told that everything was totally legit by ms yates.
