Gold Star Securities, Inc Sweepstakes Winning "Check" Looks Real Portland Maine

Received the same letter notifying me that I was a winner in the SHOPPERS SWEEPSTAKES that has already been described in previous report(s). I knew it had to be a scam, so I checked it out right away and was fortunate to find Rip-Off reports already filed on this company. The thing that impressed me about this one was that was that the check looked real. Nowhere on it does it say "This is not a check" or "non-negotiable" or anything like that. The tip off is that the letter (not the check) says "Please (sic) not attempt to use this check until you call."
I'm always a skeptic when it comes to this stuff, but this one had me going there for a minute
Oh well....
