LERNKS FINANCIAL SERVICES CLAIMS AGENT, OSCAR WILLIAMS YEAH! I'M THE SECOND PRIZE WINNER OF THE USA MEGA SWEEPS AND I WON $450,000.00 SYDNEY NS, Ontario

I received a letter in the mail stating that I was the second prize winner in the second category of the USA Mega(under the international Sweepstakes and that I had won $450,000.00 in US dollars.

I was sent a check for $4100.00 to cover the taxes on the winnings. Lernks financial Services was assigned to inform the winners and pay off their winnings.I was instructed to call my claims agent,Mr. Oscar williams prior to doing anything with the check.

I never entered a sweepstakes in Canada and felt that receiving a check in the mail for this large sum was too good to be true. The name of a company on the check is a legitimate company asis the name of the bank on the check but the whole thing is bogus. 

I am not sure what the company is trying to do.Maybe obtain my bank account number if I were to deposit the check. perhaps to get other pertinent information about me like a social security number or other valuable info.I'm not sure. i do know I didn't win the money and that's a sad thing!
