    They are a scam.  You don't win "lotteries" you didn't buy tickets in (and you usually don't even win in those you did).  You also don't pay "fees" to collect anything. If they were legit they would just take it out of the "winnings".  And you want to bet "Jane Smith" isn't her real name?


    They will continue to harass you as long as they think they can con you out of your money.  YOu cannot believe ANYTHING they say, so do NOT provide them with ANY information.  It is best to just hang up.

    This is criminal activity.  File a complaint with your local police.

    If they keep calling, tell them you are recording, and that you have notified the police.  Then hang up.  Ignore anything they mail you.  Since they have continued to harass you, keep it as potential evidence, noting the date you received it.  You might also file a fraud complaint with the Indian equivalent of of the postal inspector.

    Ellos me contactaron y me pedian que les enviara el numero de una cuenta a mi nombre para hacer el deposito, una vez dado yo mi numero, me pidieron que tenia que hacer una consignacion de mucho dinero, enviado  por money order, para ellos poder abrir una cuenta en su banco y hacerme el deposito. Eso se me hizo bastante raro y fue en ese momento cuando entre aqui a google y encontre este mensaje. Son unos ladrones.
    Mucho cuidado.
    Ya les envie una carta diciendoles que los iba a denunciar.

    This is a very common scam. Once they find out they won't get any money from you, they will give up and try it with someone else.

    The link above tells you how scammers operate. There are several people who give them a run for their money. They act like they have been fooled by these con artists just to tie up their time. I am working on one as we speak. I made him go to western union five times just to find out there is no money waiting for him! The joke is on him now! Every minute he is trying to get money from me is a minute he cannot work on someone else, so I like to keep him busy!!

    It doesn't matter what you do. When I first received two of these bogus checks I called my local  PD. They stated sounded more like the AG's problem than theirs. I called up the AG's office, they took the info, asked me to send the checks and the letter with it and I did. (Keeping copies for myself)I knew it was a scam, but an elderly neighbor actually brought her checks to the bank, which then cleared the checks. She used half the money was thrilled and then guess what? You guessed it. The Bank contacted her, told her the checks was counterfeit, and she needed to repay the money right away, or SHE would be arrested for passing fraudulent checks. Not having all the money she panicked and had to borrow.Personally since the bank cleared it, I think they should have ate it, not her.At the very least they should have put an extended hold on these checks. She thought since she did enter sweepstakes that maybe they were real.The Banks really should start doing their jobs when it comes to these ridiculous checks.It may piss people off with real legitimate checks to have to wait, but then everyone is in the clear if it is real or not. bottom line NO ONE sends checks like this out for real.
