Answer 2

MY WIFE GOT ONE ALSO. IT IS A SCAM. DID YOU ENTER A LOTTO OVER SEAS? REALLY THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THAT MONEY? WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING IS CASHING A CHECK WITH A BUSINESS NAME IN THE LEFT UPPER CORNER (SPONSOR) THAT WILL HAVE AN ACCOUNT NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM THAT DOES NOT MATCH THAT BUSINESS NAME SINCE THE BUSINESS PROBABLY DOES NOT EXIST. YOU WILL SEND THE MONEY TO THE SUBJECT LISTED AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING BACK THE BANK WHICH WILL BE AT LOSS AND POSSIBLY YOU WILL HAVE A WARRANT OUT FOR YOUR ARREST FOR FRAUD. CHECK THE GRAMMER IN YOUR LETTER OR LET SOMEONE WITH SOME EDUCATION LOOK AT IT FIRST SINCE THERE ARE SOME MISSPELLINGS OR IMPROPER USES OF WORDS. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD "YOU" SHOULD HAVE BEEN "YOUR" IN MY WIFE'S LETTER. THESE CHECKS THEY SEND OUT CAN BE BOUGHT AT ANY OFFICE SUPPLY STORE AND THEN PRINTED ON A COMPUTER AT HOME LIKE MOST SMALL BUSINESSES STILL DO. THEY ARE REAL CHECKS WITH OTHER COMPANIES INFORMATION ON THEM (USUALLY THE ACCOUNT AND ROUTING NUMBERS). THEY ASK YOU TO KEEP IT A SECRET OR CONFIDENTIAL SO YOU WILL CASH THE CHECK. LOTS OF PEOPLE FALL FOR THESE SCAMS. IF YOU DID NOT ENTER A LOTTO THEN YOU PROBABLY WON'T WIN ONE. DO NOT SHRED THE CHECK. FILE A REPORT AND LET THE POLICE HAVE THE CHECK YOU RECEIVED FOR EVIDENCE. A COPY MIGHT NOT HOLD UP IN COURT SINCE APHOTOCOPY CAN BE MANIPULATED.

Answer 3

This is a scam. I received the same thing yesterday but Alpha's address is a London England address. Yes the bank it claims to be drawn on in California, First Federal Bank exists but I emailed the bank and it is definately a scam. Don't deposit it. When you call they will tell you to deposit it and send them your check for $...... this check will bounce and you will be on the hook with your bank for whatever amount you sent them. It could take a month before the check is return as not a valid account. BEWARE!!

Answer 5

I live in Michigan and i recived the same check and from the same people. my check was for 2,996.80 they said i won 130,000.00 this is not real. it is real frud if you cash the check or deposit it. my bank took the check, but know i have to correct the mistake and hopefully my bank will be understanding.. copy then shread the check and find some one who is investigating the case and give them the letter along with the copyed check. so they can catch them..that is what i'm doing..
