Got a letter in the mail with a check stating I won in a big sweepstakes, which I never entered.  The letter was from Canada but the check was from MI. Scam...  Now I am going to the police with it.

I also recieved a letter with the same story. This check was from Providence. The letter said I should call the phone number before depositing the check. Will report this scam.

I received a letter as well and a check for $4520. The people were so nice when I called and the check looked legit, I even showed it to a friend, who agreed. After depositing the check, I called again and something now didn't feel right, so when I went home I looked up Sweepstakes Association of America and found out it was a scam and the check was probably counterfeit or bad. I immediately called my bank, but it was too late to pull the deposit. The bank has frozen my account and is threatening to close it and treating me like a criminal instead of a victim...it's all really sad and worse to be treated like this with a bank you've dealt with for 7 years.

no call rec'd just the check and a letter in the mail. Check looks legit, but probably not. Won't be buying into this one. It strongly advised me tocontact my agents Deborah Smith or Tracey Williams or Larry Otis at the listed number. Yeah right
