I received a letter on December 1, 2008 that stated I won $70, 000. To consumate the deal, they sent me a check for $4, 850. To deposit the check, I needed to confirm with their claim department and discuss dispersing the first $3, 950 for taxes from the first check. Then I would receive the balance of $65k. As the story goes, if it is too good to be true it is. I could use the money but know a scam when I see it. I verified this scam with the customer service department of the bank issuing check. They told me to go to local authorities to make them aware of it so other neighbors would not fall prey to Beneficial's scam.
