I AM A SINGLE MOM OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS AND I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ALONG WITH A CHECK FOR $1, 790.00. THE LETTER INFORMED ME THAT I EMERGED AS ONE OF THE WINNERS OF THE SWITZERLAND INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY PROGRAMS. AND THAT I AM TO GET $63, 210.00 AFTER I CASH THE CHECK ENCLOSED WITH THE LETTER FOR $1, 790.00. THIS $1, 790.00 WILL PAY FOR MY TAX AND CLEARANCE FEE. YEAH, OK!
I CALLED THE NUMBER IN LONDON THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME IN THE LETTER AND I ACTUALLY GOT SOMEONE LIVE TO TALK TO ON THE PHONE. THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME WAS RICHARD ABRAHAMS. HE TOLD ME TO CASH THE CHECK AND HE WOULD CALL ME THE NEXT DAY WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SEND THE MONEY TO THEM TO PROCESS MY WINNINGS. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY CHECK FOR $63, 210.00 WOULD BE HERE WITHIN 14 DAYS. HE SOMEHOW HAD MY NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.
I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS A BELIEVER AT FIRST BECAUSE HE HAD ALL OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. BUT, NOW, AFTER READING THE REPORTS, I GUESS IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
SO, WHAT DO I DO WITH THE CHECK? IT REALLY STINKS THAT PEOPLE CAN DO THIS TO YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE A SINGLE MOM TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I WISH IT WAS TRUE BECAUSE GOD KNOWS I COULD HAVE USED THE MONEY.
