Whenever you are told you have won a lottery or raffle or something you did not enter IT IS A SCAM!!! I bet the check bounced and now you are out some money for bounced check charges right? the idea is that people will cash the check and draw money for the money order to pay off "taxes". For more information on how these scams work and how to avoid them, search for "Nigerian Scam" "Advance Fee Fraud" or "Nigerian 411 scam" on google.
