Barnes Marketing Creul joke to play on someone so needing money. pickering, Ontario

I am writing this because i recieved a letter in the mail from Branes Marketing telling me I had won $8000.00 dollars with a check inclosed for $986.88.  This came at a time when I am really hurting for money and I so wanted it to be true. The more I read the letter and talked to the bank and friends the more I became suspicious of it. I looked on line and found 4 other reports exactly like mine and knew something was wrong. I am glad I did not cash the check and give these people a chance at my bank account. I hope this helps someone else. Thank you
