I can tell you right now that I got the letter also. Its a scam. I read all the same things - good things. Made you think "wot they arent asking me to do anything". I did check one thing. I asked them what do you do if you dont have a checking account? The guy told me that he would have to cancel the check and that they would send me a voucher via FedEx saying that they will take their money out of my winnings and sign it and send it back to them and they will send me a check but that takes longer. So I said you know what its all good - I checked the check just to make sure that everything was there and it was. So I took it to my bank. 3 days later I get a call from my bank saying that the check was returned. But they couldnt give me a reason then. So I called up "CELEBRATIONS" and told them the issue. I was given to their "credit" department and I was told that it was a Cashier's check and there was no way that it could have been returned for "insufficient funds" he said that I probably took too long to call and for security reasons they probably cancelled the check thinking I was just going to pocket their money and never call. So I said true I can understand that. He said he was going to send me the voucher via FedEx 2 day and just sign it and send it back and they will release my winnings to me. So I said ok. I called my bank the next day to find out why the check was returned and I was told that it was returned because it was a FRAUD check. I have YET!!!!! to be in contact with anyone at Celebrations. As a result my account is closed due to fraud activities and I have been blocked from having an account with my bank again. Dont cash the check or put it in your account. PLEASE.
