It's fake. I bet you didn't enter any contests to win 90,000? Then how could you have won? Does it say you were "randomly selected?" Yeah, right! Anyway, if I were you I would take the check and the letter to your bank, and tell them you believe you recieved a counterfeit check and you don't know how to report it. You might need to speak to the bank manager. Tell them you want these people to get caught! Anyway, do NOT attempt to deposit or cash the check. YOU will be held responsible for presenting a counterfeit check. It sounds totally crazy and unfair, but that's how it works.

That sounds so fake! However if you really can't just tear it up and throw it away with out finding out. Take it to any bank walk in and say " I have a question, I received this check in mail and I was wondering you can please tell me if it is real or fake?" DON'T just try to cash it cause then you are breaking the law.
Read on the check somewhere it will probably say "this check is void" or something like that.

That is TOTALLY a scam. Do not respond and do not cash the check. Turn it in to your local police department so they can start an investigation and get it reported to the media so they can inform the public.

Take it to the bank and they will tell you this is a scam that can get you into alot of trouble. Contact your state's attorney general's office or the police department and become a hero for alot of other people who may not think to question it.
