Attempted to lure me in to depositing a bad check from them and then sending money to them in order to pay for fees required before I would supposedly receive a large prize.
Check apparently is real, account exists (I checked) but it would certainly bounce. Or worse, it was stolen and that fact would eventually come to light, leaving me in the lurch for the money I would have sent to Canada to pay the "Non Resident Tax" which supposedly had to be paid to release the phony prize money. Check is from Mcchia Foundation, 3195 Bowlen Rd #101-416, Beaumont TX 77706, drawn on JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. Dallas TX 75201-1605
Checked with the US Post Office and they confirmed scam.

This is a pretty clumsy scam attempting the appearance of legitimacy by mentioning a list of companies so large that it's likely you've had some contact with one of them recently.
The phone number does not match the province of the bank. The logo is pasted on. The paper is cheap and the signature is a font. The enclosed check is surprisingly real, which is problematic. But if you attempt to cash it, you are not very bright.
