You were victimized

You fell victim to the Nigerian Check Scam. They tell you that you won a lottery in a country...a lottery that you never signed up for. Then, they send you a check to cash and send part of it back to them via Western Union or some other such money wiring company. Then, the check you cashed will bounce because it is not real but you are responsible for the overdrafts as well as the amount of the check.
NEVER, EVER believe that you're being given free money. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

What part of your brain didn't you listen to when it was told that if "they ask if this is for a lottery, tell them no"?
Why would you even think this was real? Did you ever enter the Canadian Lottery?
