Life Investors Insurance Company of America You are a winner! Tacoma , Washington

I was sitting in my bathroom opening my mail.  When I open the letter a check fell out.  It was for $4,988 and I almost fell in the toilet.   I read further and it said that I was entitled to a preliminary prize of $250,000.  My heart stopped.

Upon intitial inspection the letter seem real. The check certainly looked real. Then I real looked at the letter.  The first thing I noticed was that the letter head was copied.  Then the envelope which it arrived in had no return address and came from a postal area in Canada. 

It gave me a phone number to call which I called.  Someone answered and said that the person was in a meeting to call back in one hour.   I did, but only got a a voice on the telephone.

Although I really hoped that the letter was authentic, I did further research.   I went online and looked up the name of the company.  I called the company to see if they had such an employee.  The receptionist could not find the person in the personel database.  I explained what I had and she confirmed that it was indeed a boggus check and not such person worked for this company.

My plan is to forward this letter to my Attorney General's Office.  I hope they catch these criminals, before they can harm anyone else.
