They sent a letter that looked suspicious even before I opened the envelope.  The enveloped had no return address and a stamp from Canada and it looked like a stame that someone mailing a Christmas card would use, not official correspondence from a bank.  The date on the letter had a typo in the mailing date something again that made me suspicious.  The letter said that I had won 3^rd prize from the annual Readers Digest Sweepstakes, 65,000.00 (Sixty Five Thousand Dollars).  Included was a check from Penson Financial Services and it looked real.  I had not recently entered any sweepstakes so that made me even more suspicious.  I went to the library and Goolged the address and it said something about a tax attorney, then I Goolged the bank did not get the exact address for the bank, then I Goolged Readers Digest Claims Services and I got this web site with someone telling the same story and that it was a scam.
