I received a letter telling me that I was the 3rd prize winner for the annual readers Digest Sweepstake and that my winnings would amount to a total of $65,000. There was a check enclosed in the envelope for $3,056.75 which they said was to cover handling, insurance, duties and tax fees.
The only number listed in the letter was that of "Michael Phillips" Director of Claims 514-574-7153. When I called that number a French-speaking message came up. I looked on the Internet and called another number for Readers Digest Claim Services and , again, a French-speaking message came up.
The $3056.75 check was drawn on Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, NY and was from Diebold Financial Services Inc.,5995 Mayfair Road, North Canton, Ohio 44720. I have not looked this company up to see if it really exists yet.

Reader's Digest did not rip her off...
AUTHOR: Edgeman - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 17, 2009
Instead of focusing on whatever name the scammers are using, it's important to focus on how the scam works. In short, if you receive a letter that says you won a lottery or sweepstakes that you haven't entered and AND you receive a check with instructions to forward the money to someone else, it's a scam.
Don't waste any more time "looking things up" about this. It's a scam. If you get through to someone they will very likely tell you to moneygram some money to someone in Canada-that's the current version of this type of scam.
Once you send them any funds-they vanish and your money is gone.
Toss the thing in the trash. You didn't win anything.
