I received a check from Southwest Financial Inc. stating I had won something from the Readers Digest and Publishers Clearing House. I received $3950.00 and it stated on the letter to send $1950.00 for taxes and fees.
I went to the place where I cash all my checks, it was cashed and I sent in money orders for $1950.00 and after this place received my part of the money, then I would receive the rest which was $35,050.
The number to the bank on the check, didn't answer their phone, Union Bank of California, 3403 10th St, Riverside, CA, and Southwest's number always went to an answering machine, Andrew Coxwel or Lisa Woodworth, when I didn't get a call back or didn't hear from anybody, I googled the names that were on the letter, all I got was Theodore Clarence, 670 W. 170th St. #W, New York, NY, 410-760-7863, supposedly he's the agent that receives the money orders and then he's suppose to send me my final check.
I googled the map that showed where his address was, I clicked on a balloon and it pulled up a company Farmaco Internacional SA, Ajax Pickering, Ontario Canada. I googled the Southwest phone number and it's a cell phone 289-892-4698, the carrier for the cell phone is Fido Solutions Inc.
I feel so foolish, I should of checked this out before I made any attempts to cash the check, but the check looked so real, even the man that cashed it, didn't think it was fake, I'm going to call the money order place and see if I can find out who cashed the money orders and report them to the police. Can you tell me what else I need to do, especially about cashing the check, that man trusted me and let him down. Please help!!!

Unfortunatly you have more problems..

If this "place" you cashed the check at was a check cashing place they can be a lot less forgiving than a regular bank. Not that the bank would still not require you to pay them back, but the check cashing place may actually go straight to a suit or try to file check fraud charges(because you did present the check as valid). You seem to have an existing relationship with this place so that may help you.
Hopefully you did not spend the other $2,000. Immediatly return that money(or what ever is left) to the place that cashed the check explaining the situation. Make sure you have a receipt to show you at least paid that amount back. Then talk to them about arrangements you can make to pay the remaining amount back. If you go to them and are up front with them they may be willing to work with you. The worst thing you can do is avoid this because it will get worse if you do.
You can attempt to try and find out who cashed it, but in the end you won't. As you found out they are in Canada and do this all of the time. They are long gone not leaving any way to trace them.

Unfortunately, your bank will also come after you when they find out the original check isn't any good. Contact your bank immediately and explain your situation.Best of luck.

I find it amazing that anyone still falls for this scam, especially since you have access to the internet. There are no up-front fees for winnings. Taxes are taken out of the winnings. Of course the check looks real, anyone can make a check that looks authentic.
There is not much you can do, maybe postal fraud? But, you may need copies of the check and envelope it came in.
