My husband received a letter and a very official (and probably real) check drawn on Suntrust Bank in Lakeland, FL. The check is for $4, 875.00, and it states that he has won the DE-LOTTO NORTH AMERICAN SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY, and his winnings are $125, 000. The letter says to call the number provided and be told to send the amount of $2, 875 for taxes to a tax agent. Yeah, right! It didn't totally pass the smell test for me, although the check is very official, and that's what throws you off. I can see how people fall for this stuff. So I got online, Googled the name, and this is the first web site to come up, confirming what I suspected. I'd like to see these people stopped, because there are some who would fall for this very easily. It really makes me MAD that people do this. Whenever an unsolicited piece of garbage like this comes to your home, ALWAYS CHECK IT OUT.
