So, my Mother recently got a letter (along with a check for $3,400) stating that she is one of the winners in a 'Telephone & Light Bills Drawing' held a few weeks back and that her lump sum pay out is $50,000. She called the number given and spoke to the person mentioned.. The person (and in the letter) mentioned that we had to take some money out of the $3,400 to pay taxes, to send the money via Money Gram to an 'associate' in Georgia, to call that person back to confirm it and then her money would be sent to her within 48 hours via 'Express mail' of some sort...
Now, I am curious and want to hear some opinions... Do you think this is legitimate or just another scam?
