We recieved a check for $4,890.00 saying we were randomly selected by computer as the winner of $250,000.00. Enclosed check is to pay for the taxes on the winnings. The taxes are $2,985.00. to be paid by either Moneygram or Western Union. "Please do not attempt to use this check until you call." Phone number and agent name were given. I contacted Clark Howard's Consumer Action Team and discussed the above, and he said if I was talking to Clark, the sirens would be going off! They also gave me this website. So to all Beware! Remember if it sounds too good, it is.
