Received award notification letter through US Mail, as well as, a cashier's check made out to me in the amount of $2980.10. The check was issued from the same bank that I use and was issued to "help" pay for processing fees to claim my grand prize of $100,000. I was to call the sponsor at 514-570-4310 and supply information that would result in an activation code which would enable me to deposit the enclosed cashier's check.
I did not receive a phone call, only the prize winning letter noification and the cashier's check.
My grandmother received the same letter with the same information except the check was for $3975.00. The phone number they want you to call to activate your check is 514-224-4377. The check is from Merrill Lynch Chase Bank. Has anyone ever deposited one of these so-called checks? If so, what happened?
