I received a check for 3900.00 for all the tax and service charges to claim my winnings. I was told that after my final winning notification on July 14th they have secured, through their third party financial sponsors the required amount that I need to pay for all the tax and services charges related to this International sweepstakes winning program. The check is from Chase Manhatten Bank. They said I won 55,850.00 that was part of a 1,986,000.00 sweepstakes prize divided amonst several winners. They want me to call the account manger. Upon clearance of this check, the final payment less all applicable fees would be sent within 10-14 business days.
I want to know if this is legit or not. I could not find this company on this website or google. Please let me know

I appreciated the rebuttal I got. The next day I did some more checking on my own. I called the number of the bank that was on the check. The girl who answered answered as Chase Manhattan check verification center, Canada. I said I wanted to verify funds. She asked for the check number, not the account number (red flag). She knew the amount (red flag) and my name (red flag).
I looked up Chase Manhattan Bank on the internet and got a phone number off of that for the bank in Delaware. I called. She asked for the account number. I gave it to her, and she said all she could tell me was that it belonged to a retail group, and it was funded daily so they never returned checks unless account holder put a stop payment on them. Why would she tell me that? Must be that they cancel a lot of checks.
I e-mailed them and have not yet heard back, but if it is counterfeit or stolen they should know about it to protect their clients, or if the client is the scammer, I thought Chase Manhattan would like to know that too, and would not want their names associated with a scam.
I would like to know what other parties I should notify and make aware of this. Someone told me that someone they know got a reward for turning in a fraudulent check like that. I don't know who to contact. Please help.

the reason you can't find anything about them is the criminals use a different name each day then do the same trick. the company address you gave is thrifty car rental in toronto.
