I received this same email signed Mrs. Reyna Cruz, online coordinator. She stated that my email had won $1,000,000 and she wanted my address, country, sex, etc. I began to realize that it was a Scam!! So I looked it up and landed here. Now I know it is definitely a Scam!!
This number was sent to me to contact someone at "Publishers Clearing House" by the name of France Mailot. It is a SCAM!!! I also received a cashier's check and was told that this would help me pay the fees and taxes on my winning. I contacted the real Publishers Clearing House and reported this.

No they do not send checks of any kind to pay taxes with!
An idividual reported this new check scam to me. This scam includes a letter from Publishes Clearing House claiming you have won this month's big bang jackpots of $1.25 Million. I confirmed that it was a scam, no one is going to give you free money. The remitter of the check did in fact have his identity and his credit stolen from him. The check appears to be more authentic than that of previous "419" or check scams. The France Mailot at 347-338-2245 will attempt to solicit information from you. Further the account on the check is closed and you will not recieve any funds sending your own only to never recieve anything.
I received letter and a cashiers check for 6,585.00 stating the check would cover any fees incurred in claiming the 1.25 million dollar jackpot I had won. The letter was addressed to me from PCH 382 Channel Drive, Port Washington, NY. Contact was France Mailot 1-347-338-2245. I had apparently won the March 31, 2012 drawing and was receiving my final notice to claim the prize. CASHIERS CHECK drawn on Univest Bank and Trust 14 N. Main St. Souderton, PA and signed by Laurie Evandoff. BEWARE.... NOTIFIED THE REAL PCH AT 800-392-4190 SCAM DEPT. THE WINNING NUMBERS WERE ACTUAL WINNING NUMBERS FROM PCH DRAWINGS. THEY WENT THROUGH ALOT OF TROUBLE ON THIS ONE.
