I received a letter in the mail saying I won some money from filling out on-line surveys. I do fill out online surveys so I thought it could be true. The man stated I would receive another letter with my first prize check and would receive all the details with the letter about the rest of my winnings.
About a week later I received the letter and a check for $2620.00 and a letter saying I was to send the amount back for the rest of the amount. I called the bank that the check was issued from and they confirmed that Home Depot was one of there coropate accounts and that was a there routing number. I was super excited and just knew for sure it was real.
So I called the number back from the letter and spoke with the represenative and said that I would feel more comfortable if they would just send the rest of my winnings the same way and just deduct any fees directly. He stated they could do that and he understood my reservations. So, I deposited the check into my account and started rejoicing over my good fortune.
Then a week later my bank called to tell me the check was a FAKE! I have to pay all the money back! Please Please don't make the same mistake I did. These people are real jerks to do this to people.
