Sent me a letter and a check for $5351.20.
Showed that I was a winner in their Powerball Jackpot, category "C" for $1,3000,000.00.
I should deposit the check into my bank account.
I am to Western Union to a woman in California, $2505.24.
They will then proceed to transfer the $1.3 into my account.
I deposited the check into my bank on 10/06/06.
It shows on my statement and they have been contacting me everyday to transfer the money. If I don't do it today they said they will cancel the winnings and the check I received.
They also said there were three other winners and they wired the money request and have received their winnings.
What do you think of this ???

They changed their name to avoid the authorities.

Everything is stated there.
They are recruiting many through the internet.
Especially through Myspace.
They are running a Pyramid Scheme.

Robert,
How can you win something you obviously did not enter??
Have you ever heard of Powerball? The only state you can go to around you that doen't have Powerball is Ohio. It is a multi-state lottery. You have to buy a ticket at a cost of $1 per play. (minus power play for all those who know what I'm talking about)
If you don't buy a ticket -- You won't win.
And I have never heard of any LEGITIMATE lottery sending out letters or phony checks to anybody saying that "They Have Won .. and Must Pay Fees" to get any money.
Since it looks like you do have access to the internet... Did you try to going to the Powerball website? Powerball is not even played in Nevada!!!
The long and short of it. If it is to good to be true... and you haven't entered... YOU DID NOT WIN..

After some time, it could be weeks, your bank will take the money back out of your account. Talk to your banker as they have undoubtably encountered this before. There should be no problem as long as your balance is high enough to cover it (i.e. you did not spend any of the money). If you gave the scammers your bank account number you should tell your bank and possibly change to a different account.
Don't talk to the scammers any more and of course don't send any money.

As soon as you wire them money you will discover that their "check" is bad and will not clear your bank. RUN AWAY. Remember the golden rule...if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Here is how it works.....
1)you deposit their check for $5351
2)you withdraw $2505 and western union it to them thinking you are $2800 ahead still
3)bank calls you a week or 2 later saying check is no good
4)you are out $2505

Did you enter this contest? If not, how can you win. This is a definite scam. If you send them the money, you'll be out the cash. In fact, your deposit of their fake check will cause a charge already to your account, so you're already down some money. Do yourself a favor, cut off all communication before they trick you out of more cash
