Aig Annuity insurance co, (customers compensation draw) CiB Financial group, Check for $3980.00 won in sweepstakes Ontario, Ontario Canada

I received a check in the amount of $3980.00. It a partial check of $125,000.00 to pay the taxes on the money. The letter stated I should call as soon as I deposit the check, for farther information, and what to do next. Upon calling the lady named Brenda Smith, she had to activate the check number before I could make a deposit. I went to the bank to make the deposit, the bank varified the check number as being a fraud and a ripoff. I call the lady back and when she answered, I told her what the bank did, and that they would not deposit the check. She wanted to know what bank I used. I told her and she said the company would find out way they wouldn't deposit the check.  She said I would hear back from her in 48 hours. Brenda said, "she would get to the bottom of the problem". A bad ripoff.
