Letter from above named company (postmarked from Canada with no return address) with a real, official check for $3950 to cover $2950 fees associated with winning $65,000 prize. Check is drawn on Triad Bank in St. Louis from account of MPR Supply Co., a legit firm there. I contacted MPR Supply and learned that these scams started in January. Account was closed then so checks will definitely bounce and leave whoever cashed them to repay their bank. MPR indicated that this sounds like a 4th iteration (first two were "secret shoppers". This appears to be a second sweepstakes) The Secret Service is already investigating this case.
Damage is 0 to me because i wasn't taken in but MPR said that there have been over $500,000 in losses so far to people who fell for it. (MPR lost nothing since the account on the check was closed immediately before any funds were taken.
