Clearing & Forwarding Center; Award Claim Final Notification cash this check for $4980.00 and send $3980.00 to pay taxes on $125000.00 Toronto Ontario

I received letter in mail with a check for $4980.00. Stating I just won the 2008 North American Sweepstakes Lottery held on 9/25/08 in the 2nd category. The lottery amount won was $125000.00 and all I had to do was cash the check, send them $3980.00 either by certify check or money order. The check looked very real, but the letter just didn't official.

One of the things that was off was that the check originated from Universal Tool, Inc. from Rainbow City, Alabama from AMSOUTH'BANK. For starters it is spelled AmSouth Bank and it is now Regions Bank. So I called information to get Universal Tool's phone number; I got an answering machine. So I got on the internet and done a little research and found out that I am not the only person this was done to.

I am just glad that I didn't fall for it.
