This is great, I'm so thrilled. I don't know how I'm going to spend all my winnings. I have a cheque for $4689.64 and they happen to have a companion law firm to handle payment of your taxes. It's quite convenient.

I wonder if the FBI is interested in this kind of scam or if I should just talk to the state attorney general's office.
 
I can't tell if you're joking or being sarcastic or what. Is it a scam? Are you in the US? Do you really have a check for that amount? Plz advise.

Also, I am a broke college student with no college fund and a single-parent household supporting me. Buy me a cheap iBook! It would be your good deed! ;)
 
The site cannot be found...

And I have to say your post confused me too, sorry.

And I'm in the same situation as the above, poor college student! Buy me an iBook please! :D

I'd say a sweet Mac setup and pay off your house mortgage.
 
forward it to Treasury Department or someone if you want, but there are so many millions of copies of cyber-scam emails, it'll just get tossed on a pile somewhere-- you're not going to get an investigation or even a reply :)

unless, you know, you're thinking of DOING it. in which case, i'd have to beat you with a pipewrench.

Dear Bank,

I don't have any silverware, just gold in my safe. Can I send you the key to my safe, or do I have to send you the safe aswell?

Kind regards,

For those who can't tell, it's a scam. I didn't win anything, but I have a cheque in hand that is like the keys to the kingdom. Fortunately for me, I don't have an i.d. worth stealing. They'd have to be the dumbest identity theft criminals on the planet to want to steal from me.

Don't fall for these scams. It's tempting to cash the cheque but you'll pay for it many times over.
