Scam....The check is bogus and when you deposit it they will withdraw the 2,985 dollars from your account and then you'll be liable to the bank for repaying it.

It depends if you sign up for the contest or not
Most of the time its a scam because its not possible to sit at home and win money out of thin air

Make sure it really is a check not something else. Check with better business bureau first, if she didnt enter any contests it woudl most likely be a scam..hopefully it is not, but the odds are it isn't for real
Good luck

Ask yourself this: Why would anyone want to give your wife $62,985? If they did why not simply enclose a check for that amount? There is no such thing as a free lunch. It is a scam.

most likely. my friend at work had the same thing, she put it in a bank account (she opened a new one, just incase) and then after about a week, the bank took the money out because it was fraud.

Did your wife tell you that she entered a contest? If she didn't, then it is a scam.
