I partcipated a lottery game on-line a few months ago, and about a week ago, I received a letter enclosed with a $2000 check.. The letter says that if I wire this $2000 "in cash" to them for tax and service fees, they will mail me $10,000 check of lottery winning award. he check has title of bank, phone number and a signature, so I assumed it is a real check. After a week I cashed the check and wire to the lottery company, my bank called and told me they had to return the check because the bank issued the check has "insufficient fund". Therefore, they had to take out $2000 from my account. (I am just a poor student ) Then I call the lottery company again, they were avoiding me and hinting that it's not their responsibility for the insufficient fund. Right now I am waiting for the check to mail to back me, and I will contact the bank that wrote the check, but who knows if it's even a "fake bank"?!
What should I do? Should I file law suit against them? How?
Thanks alot
