Complaint Review: Apex Universal Award - Mr. Eric Bryson

We got a letter from "Apex Universal Award" stating that we have won $380,000 from a sweepstake sponserd by these companys (Target, Ford, Chrysler, Bloomstar Bouquet, Publix, Wal-Mart, GM, and K-Mart). Also with the letter was a check for $4,876.14 from Bloomstar Bouquet. The letter went on to say that the check was to cover the "Insurence Fees". Right away I called Bloomstar and gave them the check info, and sure enough it was a fake. I really good fake. Then I also typed in the companys address on the letter in Google map search, and you can see that it way a house in a residential neighberhood. I contacted the number on the letter, Mr. Eric Bryson (also a fake name), just to play along. After I let him go through his scam with me, I told him that I contacted Bloomstar and they said the check was fake. He hung up the phone right away. Watch out people...
