I received a letter w/check $4995.98 instructions were to call Fred Jackson at 416-827-7223. I called Fred and was asking questions and was hung up on, because I was unaware of any lotto's or sweepstakes that I have entered.
I was to deposit the check and call him. He then was to tell me where to wire the government taxes/fees via Western Union or Moneygram.
I knew it was a scam. I am going to deposit the check into my checking account (but not spend) and when it comes back NSF then I am going to file charges for fraugalent check. I hope it works.

Don't deposit that check

By the time Pacific Healthcare, Inc., or their bank, or your bank determines that the check is no good, "Fred" will be long gone. Who are you going to file charges against?
Knowingly presenting a false document is an offense in most places.
If the check is drawn on a real company's bank account, they have a case against you (civil, criminal or both.)

WHAT ??

Why on Earth would you do a stupid thing like that ?? Your bank is going to charge you a returned item fee when the check bounces, and there is NO WAY to file charges on someone who is not located within the USA. Shred that check and everything that came with it before you get yourself into real trouble.
