Customers Compensation Lottery Mr. Ted USMandell 2012 Customer Compensation Lotttery Draw Hornell, New York

I was contacted by email that I had an award claim final notification...that was the first red flag.  Then as I read through that this was a lottery for all customers of Best-Buy, Wal-Mart, Sears, Lowes, Home-Depot, Zellers, Staples, Ikea, Master Card, Amex, CVS, JC Penney, Walgreens, K-Mart) with the North American Sweepstakes Association that I had won $22,500.  The check that they sent, do not cash until you call this number, and by the way this check is so that it will cover the taxes of $1500.  You would have to give your bank information for a certified check, money order or wire transfer.

Scam was written all over this, and making sure others do not fall for this.  There are bad people out there trying to take advantage of trusting people, shame on them.  I will be sending this to our sherrif dept, FBI and State Fraud Dept.

Please be aware of anyone asking for you to send your bank information....
