Avenue Funding Settlement Corp
Are they ligit?

I received a check for 3900.00 for all the tax and service charges to claim my winnings. I was told that after my final winning notification on July 14th they have secured, through their third party financial sponsors the required amount that I need to pay for all the tax and services charges related to this International sweepstakes winning program. The check is from Chase Manhatten Bank. They said I won 55, 850.00 that was part of a 1, 986, 000.00 sweepstakes prize divided amonst several winners. They want me to call the account manger. Upon clearance of this check, the final payment less all applicable fees would be sent within 10-14 business days.

I want to know if this is legit or not. I could not find this company on this website or google. Please let me know
