i was sent a letter with a check for 4,800 and i took it to my bank they said the check was bad. the letter told me to contact a mr.jim morris and i did that is when he told me to call him back which i did not do. i will be contacting the fbi and the bank that is on the check.
These people have seemed to wise up on letting their number through - it is now a withheld number when they call, but it is the same people regarding the mega draw. I too, got a letter stating I should contact a Jim Morris at 1778-317-1303, and have been getting phone calls on my cell from a lady I couldn't understand a James Wilson regarding the same thing - except on the phone I was told 5 million, the letter said 450,000.
