I was told that i was a winner of a sweepstakes lottery that took place in the United Kingdom and was sent a check in the amount of $3.975.00 and was told to call a claims disbursment agent to claim the rest of my $125,000.00 winnings. i went to my bank and my banker told me that the account number on my check was an unactive account number, and that if i was to cash the check and send the $1,995.00 by Western Union for taxes, by the time that money would have gone to the bank in Canada my bank would have come back to me because they wouldn't have been able to cash the orginal $3,975.00 check and i would be out $1,995.00

- I just received a check in the mail for 3,290.00 from this same organization. Good thing I checked on the Internet first and found out not only was the envelope from a hospital in Canada but thru this site, that this is a scam. I'll be shredding this now.

- Received the same email with acheck in the amount of 3850.00. The check had a legitimate company name and address, i.e. NEOPART located in Honey Brook, PA, the only thing is that this company doesn't have anything to do with retail shopping, they sell parts for transportation fleets, the check was drawn on Wachovia Bank. Just wondering if the scammers are starting to use checks with real company and bank account information. I'm shredding but I think the company has the right to know they are being used in this scam.

- Correction, to my first post. I received this letter in the mail, not an email. so I have hard copies of the letter, check and return address envelope.
