Consumer Solutions Inc. Sweepstakes claim agent Jason Brown I kindly ask if there is some kind of scam involved, and the ignorance of the man on the phone was degrading and he refused to answer my question and then proceeded to hang up on me after his few sele New York, New York

I shop often online. I received a letter stating that I won $65,000.00, due to a ticket being picked with my name on it from frequently shopping at a particular store. (the store is not specified) Inclosed is a check that looks legitimate.

In the letter, it states that the enclosed check is for $3,950.00, which was deducted from my total winning of $65,000.00. The amount of the check is to assist me in paying the $2,950.00, which is the applicable Sweepstakes Processing and Insurance Fees associated with my winnings. I call the guy and ask him if there are any strings attached and he ignorantly says why am I wasting his time calling him if I feel it may be a scam. He asks me for my claim # and after I give it to him he says I am no longer in the system cause he took my name and claim number and I screwed up by asking him if it was a legitmate company. He then hangs up on me and I try to call back and his voicemail is full. I am hoping that there is no outstanding bill on my phone for calling.
