Premier sent a letter enclosing a check made payable to me in the amount of $4890.00. The letter stated that the check represented a portion of sweepstakes winnings totaling $250,000.00. I was given a phone number to call for further instructions before actually using the check.
The person I spoke with by phone told me to deposit the check into my checking account and then immediately call them back. She said that once the check was deposited they would give further instructions for me to follow to pay the government taxes due on the winnings. Once they recevied confirmation that I had paid the taxes, they would then forward the balance of the $250,000.00 winnings to me via Federal Express.
