USA MEGA International Sweepstakes They included a check in the amount of $4,700.00 to help pay for taxes. Sydney Nova Scotia , Missouri

I received a letter from Holden Financial Services saying I was a 2nd prize winner of the USA MEGA (under the international sweepstake) draw and that a serial number matched five lucky winning numbers, resulting in a win of $250,000.00. They included a check in the amount of $4,700.00 to help pay for taxes. The company name on the check is NPG Cable, Inc. P.O. Box 47 St. Joseph, MO 64502 (which is the real address, I looked it up). The check is drawn on UMB Bank, N.A. Kansas City, MO. 64106 (also a real address). I was advised to contact a claims agent by the name of Susan Page @ 1-778-862-4477. The letter is signed under the signature of Winfred Madison, the supposed Chief Financial Officer. I did not call this number before researching it on the internet and found it to be a scam. Beware of their changing schemes.
