I received a letter stating that I had won the 2008 North American Sweepstakes Lottery held on July 25th 2008 in the 2nd category. In the letter there were lottery numbers that were used case numbers serial numbers - everything. It looked really REAL!
I had won 125, 000 from 1.25 MILLION that was shared and presented among the 10 declared winners. All the participants were selected through a random computer ballot system drawn from over 500, 000 names.
It then says "To expedite the processing, enclosed is a check of $4, 980 USD which has been deducted from your winning. You will be using some money of this first check to pay for the applicable taxes on your $125, 000 USD.
Please contact Ms. Erica Jones for further clarification and instructions on claiming your winning.
I will say - this check looked SO real I got realllllly excited for a minute until I did some research online and realized it is fake. It all looks very legitimate - and I almost fell for it!
