Answer 1

And your question is... OF COURSE IT'S A SCAM. The check will bounce.

Answer 2

No this is definitely a scam. It has all of the signs of a scam. There is no Germany Lottery Commission(emmulating from Germany or anywhere else) or any other form of lottery you can win without buying a ticket. There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades. The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy. But this is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question.

If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, nigeria 419 scams, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud.

Hi There I also recieved a check and a letter saying the same thing just different people to contact but all in Canada. I checked the routing number twice and it came up with a Chase bank as the routing number and the second time as a Bank One account I believe in Az. I am in Oklahoma. My contact name was Mark Avery also in Ontario. I was to send my money the same amount to Sonya Clark 7709 Bernard Str. Suite 202 Montreal Quebec H7M-2P6. I was not sure who to contact myself, but also feel this scam should be reported and stopped.

Yes, it is a scam. You have been alert and it is nice of you to warn other people about this. Hope your efforts to trace these people succeed.
I find that most of these addresses are in countries different from the country you live in, and generally too far away (though in your case if you live in US, the contact address is in Canada).
It is strange that these people have given a regular address and phone no. In all the 'you have won a lottery prize' papers that I have received, they don't give any phone no. or address, except a P O Box no. They are located in Singapore or Australia or Africa, making it difficult to contact them.
I really wonder where they get our addresses from!
Thanks again for your warning.
