Complaint Review: North America Vacationers Sweepstakes Lottery Program

I recently received a letter with a check of 2976.40 stating that I was a winner of some sweeptake. At first, I was happy and thought for a little when I had enter any contest drawing. Later, I remembered that I did entered my name in a contest in Florida for some travel group 5 or 6 months ago. So, I deposited the check in my account. I thought if the check is not real then the bank would know or it will not be clear. Two days later, the check was cleared.

So, I called the guy in the letter Anthon Bryce (780)695-7912. He said to send the 2975.00 plus the fee to this lady name Jennifer Stowe 155 trinity Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307. I gave him my cell phone number. I then checked the internet for name of the compay and came up with this website (Ripoffreport.com) and here I am writing this letter.

I did not send him the money eventhough he kept calling and demanding that I would lose my other 17,000 dollars which was fake. The bad news is I spent some of the money from the check to pay some of my bills. I am willing to pay back the money to my bank but I hope that I don't get into too much trouble. So, now what's next? What I don't understand is doesn't the bank know when the check is fake? I feel so stupid but again when you have much money, I thought I was lucky, guess not!
