mutual financial incorporated or griswold special care $4,350 check sent, for a SUPPOSED $250,000 lottery won los angeles California

Received a letter from Mutual Financial Inc stating that i'm the 2nd prize winner in the second category of the european, african, and usa consumer sweepstakes. There was a check for $4,350 to cover processing fees. I knew it was a scam from the get-go. If you win a lottery or drawing, you shouldnt have to pay for it. IF there are any fees, it will be taken out of the winnings themselves before the check is sent. (taxes would be your responsibility later though.) I've seen the names before on other sites....first name changes, but the last name is "Barnwa" most of the time. Another name used by these "scammers" are variations of Celine Chalker. Company name on the fake check is Griswold Special Care. The address on the check and the letter are normally a three digit "Main street" address. On mine, it's Griswold at 308 Main st, and the USA lottery office at 305 Main st. The check is from MA, the bank is in RI, and the main offices are in CA, Ireland, South Africa, and Italy. There's A LOT of signs pointing to scam. Pay attention to this stuff! They talk a good talk people. Be smart!
