Standard Trust Lottery winnings Nova Scotia

A friends mother received this letter stating she had won a lottery. It came with a check made out for $4,920. This is the 3rd letter she got. She knew enogh to shred the first two but by the time the third came along she thought maybe it could be real. All I had to do was type in the words Standard Trust Nova Scotia to see the MANY rip off reports on this scam. Few things to look for are that the company on the check is different than the company on the paper. The name at the top of the VP Venessa is spelled differently than at the bottom where it is "signed". The tickets seriel number is the same as all the other scams I was reading. She got the letter on around Jan 9, 2009. The letter is dated Jan 18, 2009. The check is dated Jan 19, 2009.
