Madison Marketing Inc. Patricia Newman They said I won a contest and sent me a fake check. I deposited the check and then found out it was a scam. They said my prize totaled 9,700 dollars, but I had to pay the taxes first. Thanks to this s Vancouver, British Columbia

I received a letter from Madison Marketing Inc. saying I had won a prize award of 9,700 dollars. They included a check for 978.84 dollars, and said they would send the rest when I paid the taxes on it. I deposited the check and was very excited, thinking I had won something. Then after looking more carefully at the letter and trying to call the number on the letter, I got suspicious. By finding this site I  figured out I was scammed. Fortunately, I called my bank and told them and they are sending the check to their fraud dept. I hope no one else gets scammed by these people. They need to be stopped. If I hadn't checked it out I could owe my bank hundreds of dollars.
