I just received a letter indicating I won 255,069 from Reader's digest; it included a check for 3797.06 from Hilite International to help "cover any charges" The number to call was 912-480-0353. I checked the Reader's Digest site and they indicated this type of activity is definitely a SCAM!
I also just got a check for $4,722.91. I was told to deposit it immediately by someone at this number. I DID NOT deposit the check. Knowing it was a scam I went along for the ride. The check is of course no good and will not clear the bank. They then tell you to wire them thousands of dollars to receive my "winnings" of $255,069.00. That way they make thousands and you owe your bank thousands. Amazing they can't track these people down!

just got a letter from them claiming that i won a drawing for $355069, w/ an enclosed check to "cover some expenses" i would encounter claiming my funds. glad to know that i had my wits about me to double check to see if it was a scam... i am a college student, this money, if legit, would have been a godsend.
