False check to pay for taxes for "Switzerland Lottery" Certificate of Award prize money

I recieved a letter (Certificate of Award) for being a "winner" of the Switzerland International Lottery Programs. A check for $1990.00 was included. I was told in this letter to cash this check, which would pay for my tax clearance fee. I would then recieve a total of $63, 010.00 minus the fee.

I was told my agent would elaborate more. Of course, excited of the thought of having won such a large amount of money, I contacted the number immediately. The first time I got a recording telling me all agents were currently busy and to leave a message, where someone would get back to me. I left my contact information, however, never recieved a call.

The next time I phoned a few days later, I recieved the same message, only this time I also recieved a recording telling me the mail box was full. I called a few more times over the next few days, during different times of the day, hoping to catch an agent. I never did, but kept getting the exact same recording. I was never able to get through to leave a message again.

I decided to finally check this company out, now thinking this could all be a hoax, which was beginning to become more clear to me that it was. Today (August 18, 2006) is the "deadline" for me to take care of my winnings. Obviously, I will not be receiving a check for $63, 010.000.

I have read other's testimonials and feel bad for those who had cashed the tax clearance check and are now having problems with their banks. I had struggled with whether or not to cash the check, thinking I did not want to run into similar problems if it was not legit. However, I will find out the damage done with the numerous calls made to Canada, once my phone bill comes.
