I got the same scam letter about the DE-LOTTO AMERICAN SHOPPERS LOTTERY allegedly held October 17, 2008. It reads the same as the other couple. I have a check for $3, 980.00.
I may put the check in an account we do not use anymore just so the Prosecuters can possibly step in and maybe try to use the laws against them. This was the advice given in a similar incident by the DA & BBB. That check was bad also, but they did not get our money. I will check with the BBB Monday to be sure that is still the corect procedure here. Check with your District Attorney's office or the BBB for your advice in your state.
I do not expect it to go through. It will come back in 2 or 3 weeks. I will not call them, nor send any money unless at least a month has passed without the check bouncing. The chances are better that my truck will start flying 50' over the traffic, but if it is not deposited thay can not prosecute.
