RE: Prize Winning Payout

I received a letter saying the following:

This was too good to be true, especially in these times. I did some research on the internet and called the bank that the check was sent from. It was from State Trust INC from the Fifth Third Bank of Northwestern Ohio. The bank was not concerned at all, but said it must be a fraud.

People please beware. For our military family who is barely making ends meet. I wish this were real, then all our problems would be solved. I know there are some worse off than us and I hope that they will investigate before following through with this offer. To the people who are thinking they can get away with this, your time will come.
