I received the same type of check,and letter saying second place winner of 4970.20
When i called the nuber to ask if this is real a guy told me yes and i should deposit it to claim 500.000 and that i will send him 3600 for the insurance. Its sounds real the check look real so i did next thing two day my account balance show up overdraft 4970.20 the amont that was deposited now i owe the bank money if you see this type a check in the the mail report it dont put it in your bank its a scam
I guess I was the 3rd so called winner of this scam. I took the check to Bank Of America to have them scan it to see if it was a real check before I did anything with it they said it would not scan and it was not a real check and to take it to the police department so I did and filed a police report on this scam.
I got a check for $4,980.70 and the lady I talked to was named Lisa Moore and told me that I won and to get my other check of $130,000.00 I have to put this check into my account and then send them a check to pay taxes. I never signed this check even though it looks very real. The lady at my bank said do not sign it because it's a bad check and I would have to pay the fee's for the bad check so sense I have the number and the lady's name who I talked to, I'm going to give mine to the FBI. If you ever get a check in the mail that seems to good to be true, don't sign it and have your bank look at it first and this check I got came from Canada...
I wish that somebody could put these people in jail because the check I got is from Canada. I didn't sign the check but did save the number and the name of the lady I talked to. The check has Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and is an agent from Archdiocese of Baltimore so this really dont make any sense...
