7-18-2006 got letter in mail stating we won 80.000. take the check for 3995.00 and cash it first making sure it clears the account... Now here's a twist. The Check did not clear. I called the compnay in Canada to inform them of this and they said they will issue us another check. They told us it was sent out on the 13th of July. We never got it nor can they be reached for comment. Apparently, you can't leave messages because the mail box is full. I plan on notifying the FBI.

I also got mail with the CHECK of DOOM.
I cashed it, rented a limo, suit, brought the girls with me for luck, and we spent the weekend at the casino, I ended up ahead 6000 dollars. I'll never know if it was legit or not I guess.
But what the hell! Senators, and congressmen do that all the time, why cant I????

REPRESATIVE. THE RULE OF THUMB IS IF ITS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, MOST LIKLY ITS NOT. I DIDN'T PLAY THE LOTTERY SO
HOW COULD I WIN. I AM FINDING OUT WHERE I CAN TAKE THIS TO IN MY CITY. AND HOPE NO ONE GETS CAUGHT UP IN THIS SCAM

Last week I received a letter stating that I had won
the lottery and they said that I had won 85,000
and I needed to send in 2085 dollars to cover some
fees I want to know if that is a scam also.

I just have a question for all you "irish random lotto" people out there. Has anyone gotten in trouble for using the $2,995.05? At first when I received the letter I believed it, called, and they told me to deposit it and call back the next day to have them verify my account. Well after I deposited it was when I started noticing it was a scam. Why did they want my account information if they were sending me money via UPS? Why is the signature on the certificate different than the typed name below? And why was the check from a medical center in louisiana rather than the company in Canada? The thing is my bank cleared the check and it's been 5 days now. I really could use it to pay some bills, but don't want any trouble. It was in my name, so would I be right in using it?

OK, YES it is a scam. DO NOT try to deposit or cash any checks sent to you. I was scammed earlier this year. I got a letter saying that I had won over $4 million, and a check for $3600 for the fees or whatever. The letter said that if I used the check for anything else, it would be considered a loan. So my boyfriend and I were like, yeah, we can move out of the van and into a home now, cool.
We deposited the check, waited a couple of days, called the bank, and the rep said, "yep, the money's here, have a good weekend, go shopping." So we did. We fixed stuff on the cars, got stuff we needed, got stuff we wanted, started filling out applications for places to rent, etc.
Five nights later, we're in the drive-thru at Wendy's to get dinner, and they say, "Sorry, your check card is declined." WHAT?? So we call the automated bank thingy and find we're over $2200 in the hole. I got my tax returns, but out of $3400, had to pay back the money to the bank, thereby screwing us for another couple of months. (Luckily, we got the money to move by April, and it was legit, not some scam).
The check looked real, the account number was real, the company it was drawn off was real, but it was FRAUD. When the check went through, they refused to pay because it wasn't something they gave me, it was something someone else screwed me with.
Report it to whatever authorities are listed on this site if you get a letter and check like this, or maybe just call the number and leave a message on their voicemail that says "Eat a bag of dicks", or "Kick rocks", and burn the check. I dunno.
Now, my boyfriend got a letter with a check for..you guessed it...$2995.05 (what the hell is the nickel for anyway???) and I had to tell him to not cash the check..we get excited when we see dollar signs payable to us, but then we need to stop and think.
Well I'm done now. I feel better having shared my sad little story here. Now everyone can stop asking if it's a scam, cuz you're talking to someone who had to pay for it. Just wait till the Prize Patrol rolls up at your house, or you finally match the MegaBucks number, cuz that's about the only real lotto you're going to find.
