I also got a check today. Looks very real. Drawn on Bank of America, with the issuer being "DSG Trust" out of Arizona. Amount of check is $4450.00, dated 09/02/2009. Contact agent's name is "Charles Brown". Too bad it's not real...could have used the money!!LOL
As to a photocopy of a check showing "VOID" - all checks do that, even real ones, this is to prevent someone from making copies of valid checks and trying to pass the copies off as real.
received the same letter and also a check for $4,450. Claims agent was also Trevor Wood. Deceided to photocopy the check, and results showed there is void across the top of the check on the photocopy. Why do these people get our hopes up? What do they want when you call the number? How can we all win the same sweepstakes?

I just received the same letter stating that i won $125,000.00 and i also received the check in the amount of $4,450.00. The scam is that you will deposit the check into your bank account, spend the money, then all of a sudden you will have to pay back the $3,000 in taxes which will most likely have to be taken out of your bank account and hopefully it doesn't overdraw your account. So just throw away this stupid letter that got your hopes up. Or take it to your bank so they can file fraud against these fraudulant [***].
