I have done tons of research on scams, I have called this number and a number that a person who had received the same letter was told to call. The number are form a wirless company in Canada called Fido Solutions. The people aren't real and they just want you to cash a fraudalent check to send them real cash. According to the ALberta, Canada Constable who I spoke with because the so called Citizens bank the check was issued from is located there needless to say it was another cell number, told me that this is happening a lot and that sweepstaked don't require ANY type of transactions between yourself and that company taxes are automatically taken out. The so called bak hung up on me when I requested the check be verified by routing number and they finally answered olny to hang up again when I called on blocked number. They do have caller ids to tell who is calling so they can play their "roles". Please beware of this and if you don't believe this because I read things about this "company"on this site and was still going to follow throough, so your own research call operators with the numbers to verify them, check on the internet and keep this in mind IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUW IT PROBABLY IS!!
