Global Promotions SCAM - Sweepstakes Winner of $250,000 -THIS IS A FRAUD Grande Prairie Alberta Canada

Received a Letter informing me I had won $250,000 from a sweepstakes. Enclosed was a check for $4,450 (deducted from winnings to pay tax Clearance Fee of $3,400) Called to find out what type of scam this was - was told by Claims Agent, Charles Moore that I needed to deposit check into my bank then call him back - I questioned the tax amount owed and how was it possible to win this sweepstakes since I had not entered. Fortunately, I did not fall for this but BEWARE, this is totally FRAUD
