Fidelity International
Sent check for lotto winnings that was fraudulent

I received this letter in the mail.

At the top of the letter there is a audit control number and an ID number. The letter is titled Dear Sir/Madam. It was informing me that I had won a international sweepstakes in the UK saying that my name was randomly drawn.

They said that I was a winner of $250, 000.00; this was from total prize award money of $87 million. They also enclosed a check for $4, 820.00 drawn from Wells Fargo Bank. This check was to pay the applicable tax of $2950. You will receive the balance of my winnings after they receive payment of the taxes. In red it is printed not to cash this check until you call your claims agent. The fees are payable at western union/ money gram location through a government tax agent. You are advised to contact your claim agent immediately between 9am-8pm and Saturdays 10am-6am ET for further clarification.

The lotto plus is sponsored by a consortium of corporations, the Intel group, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, Sears, Ford, GM etc. All participants were selected through a random computer ballot system drawn from over 1 million names in all of North America. Congratulations!

Everything was lower cased except for the bottom businesses and beginning of sentences. I called Wells Fargo Bank and they told me to take it to the Police Station. So if you get this check and letter please do not cash the check or send them money.
