I got a letter in the mail for sweepstakes I did not enter.  They sent a check stating this was a cut of my $250,000 winnings and it would cover the taxes.  It was for $4450.  It also said to call 778-320-3577 before taking it to the bank.  The check did appear real.  But as Momma always said "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is." I didn't call the number since it was long distance.

please take to Police Department, let them find Scammers.

I GUESS THEIR BACK FOR MORE. AS TO YOUR LAST DATE OF 9 OCT 2008 THIS LETTER WITH DATE OF APRIL 29 2010.I'M TURNING MY LETTER OVER TO THE BETTER BUSINESS OFFICE. I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT OUR FEDERAL/GOVERNMENT/STATE WORKERS START DOING THE JOBS THAT THEY GET PAID FOR BY US THE TAX PAYER..... I'M SO TRIED OF THESE PEOPLE SITTING ON THEIR BACK SIDES DOING NOTHING, AND THEN CRYING FOR MORE MONEY.. MAYBE WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD JUST STOP ALL THE MONEY UNTIL THEY DO THEIR JOBS.  THIS TYPE OF MAIL  SCAM SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN YRS. AGO.

i just recieved a check in the mail for $4975.90, it said with the letter saying the check is in aide to taxes towards my grand prize winning of 250000.00. i tried calling the numbers on the letter but no response or machine. it looks like a real check, also has the cigna embloim on it.

I too received a check in the mail today and it does look real. However, has anyone noticed the signature on the letter? The letter is supposedly signed by a "David Washington" but the signature is definitely a John J. (last name not readable). It's a shame that we live in a society where people have to scam us to make a buck instead of getting a real job!
