my son also got a letter for a home improvement grant. saying he won 36,449.50. the letter said to call to activate your account. and send 2099.00. and they would send him 41000.00. Did any body try to cash the 4000.00 check? the name the check came from was loss prevention management center. brooklyn ny.

They'll give you a number to the bank (on the check) to verify if the check is real. Make note of the spelling of the bank, Well Fargo not WellS Fargo.
DO NOT CASH THE CHECK!!!!
Thanks to everyone that posted information about scams like this. They're just changing the names here and there, be aware.
