Got a letter and check from "Allstate". The letter told me I won 250k and I needed to cash the check for $4980 and send the cash by Western Union  to them to pay Canadian taxes. This number is also assosciated with 253-617-1057. Please be careful. This is a SCAM that could kill you financially.

David Foster Said that I have won 250,000. from consumer's promotioal draw serial #275665 gave me a check of 4,970.80 to pay the taxes on the winnings. I put it in a checking account at chase bank and they said it is a faud check. The check looked real to me with the water color stamps and all. He claims to be from ALLSTATE claim #HPT-542264-LK

David Foster 778-317-7313 BEWARE

I just got the same letter and check from supposedly Allstate and that I won a sweepstake and all I needed to do was call my "assigned claim's agent.".  The phony check is a BofA check so I am going to take it to them and let them handle it.

I got the same check from Allstate stating i won 250K ,with the same phone # gave to a friend who works at a bank and reported it to the Fraud Dept, this check is fraud it is not real..and Bank will take appropreate action..
