I'm sure this is an off-shoot of some free offer I did. Today I rec'd a check for $2890.00 along with a letter from Canada (Prudence Financial Inc) to advise me that I'm an exceptionally luck sweepstake winner.
Unfortunately, due to International Law it stipulates that the winner needs to pay a processing fee before funds are released. But luckily for me they encloded a check for 2890.00. Once I cash the check I can contact my claims agent to find out how much to withdraw and send to the processing Office to finalize the payment of my $46,650.00 in winnings!!
Gee, am I a lucky girl or what? Funny how the mail was sent from Canada, I guess that will exempt them from U.S. laws. The check looks quite legitimate. I hate it when I see this kind of stuff - I wonder how many people run right out to the bank then call their "claims agent" to find out where to send the money. I'm sure this is usually done before the check comes back bounced and the "lucky winner" has already sent the funds (Oh why do I have the feeling the funds would need to be sent via Western Union?) to the shyster running this.
Anyway, I either saved myself from a scam or I'm giving up $46,650.00!
