Payment Trust Services Sent promise of winning $50,000, but offer was just to good to be true London England

I will try to make this as short as possible. This company, Payment Trust Services sent me a letter in the third week in June sometime. In it, it states that I have won $50,000. There was also a Cahiers Check included with the letter in the amount of $2980. The $2980 check was to pay for some processing fees etc., but the fees were only $2700+, so they make it look like you are getting just under $200 to keep! Well of course red flags were going up, but $50,000 sure would change our lives, so I decided to investigate. I called the issuing bank of the Cashiers Check, Arvest Bank. Told them the check number etc. They sadly informed me that it was indeed a fake and to bring it to my local police department.

So, as much as I wanted this to be real it was not, very, very much to my dismay! How is it that there are people who could do this to other people? It's such an awful thing to do to anyone! It is my hope that these people get caught and are put away for a long, long time for doing these things to innocent people.
