The following letter was delivered to my Aunt in Toledo Ohio on April 25th 2009. She was very hopeful that it is real but I knew that it was a ripoff. They send you the check, but the check is not real. The bank cashes the check and you send them their money and keep your $1000.00. Several days or weeks later the bank discovers that the check was fake and they come after you for the whole amount. They will take your Social Security Check or any other money you have. Please beware and do not let your loved ones be ripped off.
