I also received the same letter today...was mailed to a house I never lived in, just had a phone in my name there. The new residents looked me up to let me know about the mail. Therefore since my ONLY affiliation to the address they sent this letter to was a old phone account, I'm guessing they're pooling info from phone services. I hope they get caught real soon!!

I got the letter today, thought it was odd as I didn't remember entering any contest. I called and they told me the check was to pay taxes on my winnings. 3800.00 to pay taxes on 125,000.00. Just not quite enough to pay taxes on that amount.I admit I was exited but decided to check it out for myself online. Good thing I did. Guess I'll shred it, or maybe frame the check as a reminder

Please, can somebody explain with more detail about this letter. This is a fake letter? what if you cash this check? what happens?

I got the same letter today,and like you I knew that wasn,t enough taxes to have to pay on that amount.Wise up everyone,this is nothing but a rotten dirty scam,DD NOT BE TAKEN IN BY THIS,
