Complaint 157653 Details

Received congratulations letter stating that I had won $250,000.00 with some winning lotto numbers. However,this drawing took place in Australia & I had won in the second category. I would receive this lump sum from the North American payment office located in Buffalo New York should I claim my winnings within two weeks. I was to then contact the person or person's with the number that was provided & to keep this information confidential. One week later I received the next letter with a check in the amount of $4,995.00 saying this check was to pay $3,495.00 for the government taxs & this amount was to be paid through Money Gram. Also the letter stated do not attempt to use this check until I made the call. So I made the call letting know that I did not want to go to jail if this was a scam he said not worry. I deposited the check however I don't want the money but I don't know how to stop the process. This letter also said keep confidential tell no one & not to even allow the bank personel to see the letter that's when my suspension really came into play. Please HELP!
