I had a friend of mine recieve a letter similar to this about 6 months ago. Fortuantely she was smart enough to take the check to the bank that is was supposedly written on. The bank stated the check was a FRAUD. When I received my letter, I immediatley call my "claims agent" I was told by the woman that answered the phone that the office was already closed and that Mr Daivs had already left for the day. She told me I could go ahead and deposit the check and then call him back tomorrow and he would give me the rest of the information. Needless to say I will be calling my local law enforcement in the morning and the local news to make sure that no one falls for this. I am makling this report so that hopefully anyone who checks the internet for this company comes across this and doesnt fall for this scam. I am not proceeding any further with this. This is a scam. When you win a sweepstakes you DO NOT have to send them money in order to get your check. Please beware!!!
