I was sent a letter to my in-law's address and it came with a check for $3875.00. My mother-in-law actually called and when the guy answered his name is supposed to be John Howard but he sounds like he is from India or some where in the east. But she was asking for verification and documentation to let her know it isn't a hoax because she didn't want to give out her information and she didn't want to be stuck with a bad check. He started getting upset and yelling at her that she wasn't listening and that he never asked for her personal information, and that if she didn't want to claim her winnings he didn't care it wasn't his job. But it came down to him telling her to deposit the check and then call tomorrow and he would give the western union info. #1 mistake western unions can't be tracked since they are at 100s of locations in each state. But these guys are good because they picked up the key points such as how you got entered they chose 4 of the most popular stores for people to shop at. Also, they said that the remainder of the winnings will be coming by fedex. well that is how actual winnings come. but you don't pay the taxes by western union. you would send an actual payment by mail, and usually certified mail. so nice try to these guys but not good enough. Also if you look up the WE TRANSPORT, L.P that is on the top of the check& its a tour bus company. And the address for Bank of new york doesn't register. so 2 things wrong with check just by info, but i called my bank and verified with them, cause hey who couldn't use extra money now. buy i was informed if i attempted to use this check if i could provide proof that i was scammed i could face jail time for fraud, and have to be responsible for paying back the total amount plus the fees. so please anyone that hears from these people throw it away!
