I received letter advising my "name was randomly selected" "as a winner for the 2008 sweepstakes draws". That "all participants were selected through a computerized ballot system drawn from readers Digest, Publishers Clearinghouse, Internet Games etc." Enclosed was a check drawn from Wachovia Bank (a legitimate bank). Instructions were to deposit the check, and by doing so would cover the authorizing and processing fees. You contact the Agent Unice Megan who instructed to send them a check for the same amount>The Ripoff. The actual telephone # is located in St. Catharine-Thorold ON (i reverse looked up the phone#) Do not make the mistake of believing this scam!! If it was'nt for my great bank, I would have been out lot of $$

G,

Very similar to my experience, except they used Bank of America of Dekalb County, GA. I have contacted more than the local authorities, and this seems bigger than it actually is. Whay was the phone number on your letter, because the reverse look-up from the number on my letter, is from Central Montreal. It makes more sense now why they wanted the money transfered as soon as the check clears, because a day or two later the check will come back as bad.
