They sent me a check for $3, 900 and said I had won $39, 000, to deposit this check so I could pay my taxes before they sent me the rest. The real deal is that the check will clear right now, so you think your good. then you call the number and they say to write them a check for $3900 to pay the taxes from the money they sent you. Then about four or five days later your bank will get a message that it is a fraudulant check and they will instantly remove the $3, 900 from your account.
What I had done last week on a simular scam (Readers Digest/Publishers Clearing House, check for $1, 750 to pay transfer fees for my $50, 000 winnings) I deposited the check (they said "the money is available now") I didn't even call the number I was going to wait ten days before I touched the money Four days later my wife called me and said we were $600 in the hole. I told her to transfer the $1750 back from our savings to the checking account so we didn't get hurt.
