(yea ok) thats what I was thinking after reading this, good luck doesnt come my way like that, so i did some investigating, I called the number that was on the bottom of my paper (1-780-659-4932) my saposivly claim agents name was David Rogers who answerd the phone right away, first time i called he took my number down, and said he would call me back in 3 mins,
meanwhile i did my research, and seen it was a fraud, and i called him back and told him what I saw, and the fact that the check was fake also because i called the bank on the check which was Southwest Securities bank Arlington, tx 76004-1959. the company name on the check was Ace G & M of texas grandprairie, tx 75052-7636 the lady at the bank told me that account was closed on my check, and i told him about it.
and he did alot of rambling about it is an open account, and there must be some mistake, go deposit it in my account and i was like, yea right, im not depositing a check from an account that is closed. he then went to tell me to go to a check cashing place and cash it there and say it was from a job i did, i knew he was full of it then, he didnt even sound professional, no accent though like some people I have read said.
well the rest of the information on my letter including the check in the ammount of 2, 996.80 is this.

also the name signed and the name typed on the letter was diffrent i found that conspicuious. I really hope these people are stopped, because someone who is innocent and struggling in life will get hurt by this thinking that their luck has finally came, such as me, but they will go and deposit the check and get hurt in th elong run, and that is why i am here to further this cause to stop them now.
I hope people do stop and look into these things before falling prey. Im glad i did, and i hope i help someone else not fall into the scamers hands, good luck and please beware, if you win the lotto, you wont have to pay anything to get it from your end.
