I recieved a check in the mail with a letter informing me that I had just won in excess of $80,000 in the British lottery via the internet. With 5 kids who are constantly on the web, I wondered if one had entered my name in a drawing.
The letter claimed that the enclosed check of $2900, was mine to cash and was to cover taxes and fees for the release of the entire sum. I need only to send the fees back. I looked up the name of the bank on the check to verify if it was real and indeed it was. I then figured if it was not real the routing numbers would not be accepted by my bank.
SO I took it to my bank who cashed it with no problem on the spot. I felt more secure then, however, 3 weeks later, I recieved a copy of the check back stamped "Forgery", and "Counterfeit"! I am now a negative $2900 in my account, my bank demanding payment in full.
With a family of 7 and one income, that is impossible. I was informed by my bank that they had several of these same cases on their dest but because the scam originates from overseas there was nothing I could do! I feel so stupid to be so easily duped, but I guess my wishful thinking suckered me in! Any help.
