The check looks Real
So I called the number in the letter. A gentleman with a thick accent answered the phone and told me to call back in 10mins. I called back and reached Teresa. She explained to me I needed to deposit the check into my account wait for it to clear and then withdraw the money. THen I need to western union the money to Jennifer Duram (One of the agents of the lottery board) at 476 72nd Ave Sutie 105 montreal, QC H4B2M5, to pay for the US taxes on my winnings. Then I need to call teresa back with the confirmation # from western union. She told me not to tell the people at my bank that I won the lottery because the IRS would take most of my money away. I asked why the signature and the name on the letter were different, she said that doesn't matter, sometimes other people have to sign it. SO, what happens is the your bank will hold the check for 5 days or so then allow to to withdraw the money, you send it to Canada, the 10days later your bank calls you back and says the check is fake and they need the money back. SO you are in debt and the Canadian person is enjoying the untraceable money you sent them by western union. Needless to say I am glad that I didn't fall for this scam like others did.

If anyone knows what we can do to stop these people please let me know, I am keeping the letter and the check.

Thanks for reading
