Complaint Review: Golden Shopper's Sweepstakes

I received a Golden Shopper's Sweepstakes award notification certificate with an enclosed check of $3,450.00 drawn out of Commerce Bank, Philadelphia, PA. It stated that a drawing had been held May 25, 2007 and I was the recipient of the 2nd category and a lump sum payout will be for $68,000.00.

In order to claim the prize money, the enclosed check must be deposited. I was suspicious and began to research the company, address and phone number. None of this information was able to be located. The phone number lead to a voice mail that wouldn't allow the caller to leave a message.

After looking up rip-offs and scams on the internet, it appears that other people have also received this fruadulent activity. I intend to look into it further.
