We received a check from Alliance Financial and Trust saying this was just a portion of a bigger win ($4,875.00 of $125,000.00 -- all US dollars). We were to call the number supplied talk to the gentleman and receive directions on how to claim our prize. We were told that once the check cleared we were to send $2875.00 via money-gram or western union to the name and address they just gave us and then within 48 hours the balance of our prize would be delivered to our door. It sounded odd but we decided to give it a try. After all what would we be out if it didn't work.....
2 days after depositing the check it came back returned due to insufficient funds.
Luckily we didn't pre-spend any of the smaller check or send them the money-gram before the check cleared. They were insistent that the check would clear in 48 hours or less but we are in Georgia so we told the gentleman on the phone that it woul take up to 10 business days for the check to clear so luckily we wont incure any over draft fees.

You really saved yourself some legal problems by not spending nor sending any of that money. And had you come to this site BEFORE you put the check in the bank, you would have known it was bogus. Banks are getting tired of this scam, and are starting to prosecute the people depositing these bogus checks and spending the money. There have been 2 people locally here in Georgia who have gone to prison after falling for this scam. Consider yourself VERY lucky. And in the future - check EVERYTHING out before doing something foolish.
