SCAMS, SCAMS, and MORE SCAMS

Just over the weekend I had recieved a check in the Mail for $4900.61. I first started laughing, I proceeded to read ther letter and in this letter it had stated that I won a sweepstakes that I had entered via the internet and registering for sweepstakes through some local stores we frequently shop such as Home Depot, Walmart, Just to name a few. They stated that my total winnings were $98,000.00 and they sent out the $4900.61 to help pay for fees, and some taxes.Then I saw this check. The check was real, Drawn on Delaware Trust-ChaseManhatten Bank, Water Marks the whole nine yards.

I couldn't believe I had actually won something, especially something this large.

Now my heart is pounding and racing, and for those of you who have ever gone through long stretches of bad luck, it's not that difficult to feed into.

The letter stated I needed to call and speak to my Account Rep. to find out How I receive the balance of my winnings. So I called and Had been instructed to cash the check or deposit it, Take back out $3100.00 and go to Western Union send out $2950.00 to Sharon White in Toronto. Now I am getting very skeptical. I had been told they needed the Money Transfer Control Number in order to recieve the balance of my winnings, and I had to do this right away because this was my final notification. I had stated Sir, this is Saturday at 5:20 pm the banks are closed and I can't do a thing until Monday morning. He said you need to do this as soon as possible on Monday so you don't forfeit your prize.Luckily I am a very skeptical person by nature.
