Complaint Review: Farmers New World Consumer & Merchandise Reward Promotions

I recieved a letter in the mail stating that i had won a large sum of money. it was acompanied by a cashiers check that stated that it was to pay the non-resident tax on the winnings. i took the check to the bank and had it deposited and the next day the bank called and said the check had cleared.

so i withdrew the money sent it via money gram to the person who was suppose to be the tax agent only to get a phone call later that day from the bank stating that the check was fraudulent and that i needed to return the money. Now i am out $3069.00 and have to repay the money to the bank.

I will be filing a report with the attorney general and i just want some help in getting this matter resolved and hopefully getting my money back.
