They sent me a "Winning Final Notification" letter with a cashiers check for $3875.00. This check looks very real. They gave me a claim # of BAC/DMT-0461. The cashiers check is drawn on Bank of America, Banking Center Lawrenceville. Check # 2206928. Lower left corner reads "Bank of America, N.A. San Antonio, Texas. The letters reads: You are one of the declared winners of SHOPPERS SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY held on November 26th. We have made several unsuccessful attempts to contact you. You are entitled to the sum of $125, 000.00. This is from total prize money of $3 million US dollars shared among 24 winners. All participants selected through random computer ballot system from 500, 000 names. Your prize money has been forwarded to our Clearing/disbursement institution to release your funds. Your claim # has been assigned to our North American Claims Affiliate. I am enclosing a check for $3875.00 which was deducted from your winnings. This check is to pay Government Taxes. The tax amount is $2875.00 to be paid through Western Union directly to tax agent. Don't cash your check until you call us. Keep your winnings CONFIDENTIAL until your claim is processed. Contact your agent within 10 business days. Agent is Mr. George Atwell. Then reads, Yours Truly, Bryan Mcloud (Promotion Manager). It also has an international office line # of OII-447-024-032-779. This is a scam. I am hoping to prevent anyone falling prey to this scam. I can't believe that they can legally send me a cashiers check that is drawn on Bank of America, right here in the US. I have the check if anyone would need it to be forwarded to them.
