I received a letter stating that I had won $93,000.00 from the Liberty Sweepstakes. The address they are now using is P.O. Box 92110 New York, NY 10021 Telephone # 1-347-633-8195 In calling these scam artist, I acted happy and excited about winning the money, and told them that I was sitting in the FBI's office in Tyler, Texas. These con-artist hung up on me three times. The man answering the telephone had a middle-eastern accent, yet his name was Mike Anderson. This is a scam operation that was shut down in Conneticut, then moved over to New York in order to continue this phony sweepstakes. Thanks to the ROR for exposing these scam artist!

If you had sent the $2,700 you would have been out not only that money, but also the $2.950 for the check that was sure to bounce.
This is a very old scam... NEVER NEVER NEVER send money by money gram, western union or any think like it, to someone you dont know.
Also, think about it.. did you enter a lottery or sweepstake?? If you didn't enter, you didn't win..
its a scam, plain and simple..
Glad you didnt fall for it.
