They sent a letter stating I'm one of several winners and I will be receiving $55, 850.00 minus applicable fees. They sent me a check that was suppose to be deposited by myself only and it was suppose to be used to pay of taxes. Once, the check cleared in my account I withdrawl the money and sent the money orders to the persons I was instructed to send to. I didn't think anything of it because I felt if they weren't legit they wouldn't of sent me a check.
A week later the check was returned after I sent the money. I got stuck with a $4900 overdraft account. My Fraud Protection with my bank doesn't handle these types of situations. My question is, why did they clear the check in 5 days when it usually takes 10 days? Why am I responsible for them not catching the check in time? I have proof of where I sent the money to, because I don't have any of it.
Now when I call this company no one answers the phone or sometimes it will say the phone isn't accepting any calls.
Be careful of International Sweepstakes winning programs.
