I was sent a check to cash for $3,100.00. claiming I had won $45,000 in a sweepstakes. I had to call a number and use that money to pay the processing fees associated with the winnings. I was told as soon as they received the fee money they would release the remaining $ 41,850.00 within two days. I now read on the internet, not to hold my breath. That person stated this was a scam and has been done under several different names. And that I will be liable to the bank for that $3,100.00 even though the check cleared.

Did you deposit that check ?? Of course it will bounce. Read the hundreds of reports on this site. Be sure to read the ones where people have been arrested for cashing these phony checks. And - what sweepstakes sends winning like that in the mail ????? NOT A ONE !!!!!! WISE UP or you'll be falling for every scam there is.
