I received a 'real' check for $4960.00 supposedly drawn on a Mellon Bank account in Pittsburgh. The letter states that I am a winner entitiled to $150, 000.00. It follows the same basic format that others have received. I didn't bother to call anyone, just straight to the internet to check it out.
I was skeptical... I enter contests all the time but, if you win, they send you notification/payment by certified mail. I think these people get information from debt collectors. The letter references "Sponsors: Financial Investment Co Inc". I know this to be a debt collection agency. Perhaps these people bought some list from Financial Investment Co Inc??
