First Financial Security Inc. Sweepstake winning is a scam. False check from Fleet Bank Ripoff Cambridge Ontario

I recieved a letter from First Financial Security Inc stating that I had won a 2006 promotional sweepstakes lottery from North American pool (I haven't participate in a sweepstake in a zillion years) in the amount of $95,000 held on May 31st, 2007 like the other cases reported here.

Enclosed was a check for $4,500.00 which looked very convincing but I didn't buy it because the letter stated that the check is to enable you to pay applicable government/bond fees and administrative costs for the amount of $3,550 payable through money gram or western union locations (yeah right).

Income taxes most be paid directly to uncle Sam every April 15th. I'm planning to hunt this people down no matter what. I'll notify the FBI as well.

I wonder what happened if I cashed the check and leave it sitting in my bank acccount for couple days without calling Mike or Nancy as indicated in the letter and Signed by Rhonda Wheeler the Prize Director...
