I received a letter from "American Sweepstakes Club" stating I won 3rd prize in a drawing for $100,000. They also enclosed a check for $2787.91 and said it was for tax costs, duty, expensives, travel. Now the check was from "Akzo Nobel" which is a world-company dealing with pharmasueticals, this particular branch, in Rosalind, NJ. My question is.....What would happen if I cashed the check and let it sit in my bank? The letter stated that money is lawfully neccessary that I spend it on the expenses I had brought up earlier. Though if it is a scam.......This is money I think they wanted me to send them, they left me a #, though when i called it, I said I got this letter and want to know why it was sent, they hung up on me. The number was from Quebec.
