Well, I got the same letter. EXACTLY the same letter. I probably got it about the same day that you did, too. So, I am pretty darn sure that it is a scam....there can't be two 2nd place winners of the same promotion.

This is a total scam. How many second place winners are there? They use different company Logos and LePage was one of them used and they have a disclaimer about not being affiliated with Interac Universal. My Logo was from Sprint and you can totally tell that the letter was done from a home copier. The letter was to my grand daughter who is 12 years old and the promotion was for all bankcard holders. She doesn't have a bankcard. I did call them to find out more about it and they don't want your bankcard or account information. What they do is get your bank information when the check is deposited and we know this can be a nightmare because you will be out the money and it will affect your other legitimate transactions. They want you to cash the check and then get a Money Gram, send them $2300.00 and you get to use the other $195.30 to pay for the Money Gram. They also say that you can have the rest of the winnings wired to you after they get the $2300.00. They are smooth, I did called the AZ Attorney General's Office and they told me that the AZ AG office can not do anything but forward the information to Canada authorities because of the jurisdiction situation. AG's office also stated that they get 100 of thousands of scam from Canada because it is so hard to get to them. I am going to forward the letter and the check to them. BE WARE IT IS A SCAM

Looks like this has a strong possibility to be a scam since there are fees to be paid by you. The way it would work is that they would send you an "advance check" which would ultimately not clear. But in the meantime you would pay the "advance fees" from your own monies. I would be very suspicious of this.
