I recived a letter stating I was the 4th winner in a semiannual cash Giveaway online drawing thrue Bizrate. Enclosed was two checks one for my prize of 38,500 and another for the full coverage to offset the cost of my prize sweepstakes in the amount of 3,860.00

Parker Goldstein law firm was suppose to be the firm to help process my affidavit and 1099 tax form. When I contacted Julia Rosenberg the "Intake Agent" she gave me the spill of congratulations whats my winning ticket number the whole bite thin said my affidavit and 1099 form would come in thrue UPS once i cashed the check of 3,860.00 and send the cash to them threw Western union the address was suppose to be Manchester Englend.

Once I was told that, my spidey sense went off. I decided to call Bizrate Who told me that its a scam they are aware of the situation and were very helpful.Please Do not fall for this scam, Julia Rosenberg Will sound very Professional, they want you to cash the check they get the 3,860 you get stuck with a bill from ur bank for 3,860 with no prize cause the checks are bad. hope this helps.

On behalf of BizRate, we would like to let you all know that these letters are not coming from us. This is not related to any sweepstakes that we offer or that you entered.  It appears to be a new kind of check-cashing scheme and they are misusing BizRates name.  We're very concerned about this matter, and are petitioning the FBI or other authorities to investigate this matter.  We urge you to do the same. You may also contact us at help [at] bizrate [dot] com.  We will be glad to discuss this serious matter with you.
