Gulfstream Financial ripofrf Lotto Switzerland Sweepstakes so called lotto sends counterfeit checks Frankfort Illinois

I received a check in my deceased husbands name for $4880.00 from Gulfstream Inc. I called as letter stated before cashing check. I asked what this was about lady said my husband filled out a ballot at Walmart about four months ago and won this sweepstakes. I told her that couldn't be right she said yes he was one of twenty winners to cash the check and send the tax money on the winnings of $2975.00. I asked her if I could claim the winnings as my husband died in 1999!!! She then told me to call her back in 1 hour as she had to check with her manager. I called back and got a recording. In the meantime I called the bank the check was cut from to inquire if the check was good. The bank told me they do have an account there in that name but the checks being sent out are counterfeit and that person with the account never authorized any such lotto. Unless you want to be out $2975.00 don't cash the check and send "TAX MONEY"

Also The bank I called asked me to fax them a copy of check and letter which I have done.
