I cashed the check at a local bank. The funds of the check were not available. I was charged an additional $400.
The amount of the sweepstake winnings was $450,000. I would like to file a lawsuit for my loss of money,time,pain,suffering,and embarrassment. Someone please respond and help me as soon as possible.

Search Tips*Someone (not ING) sent you a letter stating that you won a sweepstakes that you did not apply to.
*Someone (the person who told you that you won) wrote a fake check using a fake (or possibly real) ING account.
* You got screwed.
Here is the deal: ING is a financial services company (bank) based overseas, but that does business in the US and Canada. They are a paperless bank, so they do not have checks. That was my first clue that this wasn't legit. Now, I don't expect you to have known that, the only reason I know is because I used to bank with them (found a better CU).
If you deposited this in your bank, alert them immediately. Call the authorities and turn over all records that you have (any letters, records of calls etc.) so hopefully they can catch these punks. Did this transaction involve you wiring cash back? That is ALWAYS a bad sign. Always.
Also, the fact that you had to pay taxes prior to recieving funds is suspicious. You would only have to pay taxes at the end of the year, in your normal filings. So why the separate check? Hmmm...
I am sorry you got scammed, but now you know. Don't let it happen again, and spread the word. Once everyone knows, these scumbags will be out of a job.
