Alliance Gate Investment Inc North American Lottery Sweepstakes Winner - Scam New York, New York

Alliance Gate Investment Inc sent a very official looking letter and a official looking check stating that I was the lucky winner inf a lottery "North American Lottery Sweepstakes and Consumer Compensation" and that they had been contacted to find winners who had not claimed their prizes.  The letter stated that all one lhad to do was call Amanda Williams at Phone 1-647-5665 for further directions.  They had also included a check for $3,876.00.  When Amanda Williams was called she indicated that all I had to do was deposit the check in my account and that the $250,000.00 I had won would be coming shortly by a "Special Couurier Company".  However, I had to send $2,690.55 through western union and moneygram of the deposit to Alliance Gate investment.

"Hope others don't fall for this".
