I call to see if it was true that I had won. the man said yes and i would get a check in three days and to cash it and send them 3,500 dollars western union. for the taxes he told me to go to my bank but i didn't. i went to a check cashing the teller call the bank, the bank said the check was good. so she cash the check. i then was going to send the check, but the teller said there was no business address and i should check it out before sending the check because it was for taxes. There should be a address not a post office box.

I went online and found out it was a rip-off and didn't send the money. i call them back and he hang up on me. i payed my bills with the money. he said i would get a check the next day for 41,000 after they got the 3,500. Now the check cashing place want me to pay the money back i don't have because i payed bills. who do i call now.

Pay the money back

You would be well advised to contact the check cashing service and make arrangements to reimburse them for the funds they provided you.

If you never entered this so called sweepstakes or lottery alarm bells should have gone off in your head. If the check casher decides to prosecute you there is little you have to offer in your defense. A judge is going to view the situation and will have expected you to act as any reasonable person would have - which you did not. While you may not end up in jail, it is almost certain this qualifies as a feloney offense and you may find yourself with a record and/or probation.
