Best-Way Processing Center...It says Award winning Notification-Final. I got to looking at the check and in the water mark on the front it says VOID if you turn it a certain way...Stupid me!!!!! I called the # and she said deposit it into my account that they are unable to get to and call her back tomorrow for more info... It says all participants were selected through a computer ballott system. This check only pays for the taxes and administrative expenses. After that I get a check for $50,000.00 come on now. Whoever these people are they are good....

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!! I got the same letter, i cashed it but didn't send them the money i figured if it was a scam then the bad guys lost some money and if it was real then a charity got some money and i got some money i was good with that. But the check was stolen and I now have to pay my bank back the almost 2000 bucks that i spent from the check. Turn it and the letter over to the police.

Depends on what its for. If you dont know who it is then it is probably a scam. Do NOT put the check in the bank. A guy tried to do that and Bank of America had him arrested, but they caught a lot of crap for doing it.
Call the number and ask them what the check is for, if you get a sales pitch then you'll know its fraud.
Don't give them any personal information. If its real they can reference the check by the check number.

Depends on who the sender is. Google the sender of the letter's name. We have received letters with checks in the past and its usually related to refinancing the mortgage on my house, on one occasion someone cashed it and in the fine print of the check it said we were consenting to give them access to automatically debit our bank account by depositing it. It takes a little while to clean up the mess if its a scam.

IT IS A SCAM...THROW IT AWAY...IT IS A FAKE CHECK AND IF YOU DEPOSIT IT INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AT BANK/CREDIT UNION IT WILL BE RETURNED FRAUD AND YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR THE 2962.00. THE BANK CAN SUE YOU FOR RESTITUTION. I WORK IN A CREDIT UNION AND WE HAVE SEEN THIS A HUNDRED TIMES A YEAR. YOUR BANK WILL PROBABLY NOT EXCEPT THE CHECK ANYWAY BUT IF THEY DO YOU ARE SCREWED. THROW THAT CHECK AWAY HONEY!!! IT IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR YOU

It's a scam, they get your account number and clean out the account.

It is undoubtedly a scam. You should take it to your local police station and turn it over to them.

Check from whom? If persons unknown, ABSOLUTELY it's a scam. What does the letter say?
More details please!

Hi!
Please don't try and cash the check..it is worthless. It is a scam, of course.
