In response to Frank's statement, I too received in my mail yesterday this same crap for Prize Winning Payout for $250,000.00. The names on here is changed a little bit. Linda Scott's number is now 1-778-829-8466, and the tax agent in Canada is named Elizabeth Swindell ( sounds a whole lot like Swindle doesn't it?) I also got the same type of check for $4,550.00 in which practically all of it has to be sent to the tax agent by Money Gram. But the real clincher for me in knowing this check is fake is looking at the authorized signature on the lower right hand side of the check. The signature belongs to M Van Buren. The signature looked a whole lot like a signature I had once seen of President Martin Van Buren of the United States. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and sure enough, it is! These con people are really desperate putting a dead president's signature on a check. A president that has been dead for nearly 150 years! To whoever else gets one of the phony checks, please do not cash nor do anything else with it. Take it like I will with mine and throw it away. Don't fall for this blatant theft of your checking or savings account. Thanks again Frank, for warning everybody about this. I'm doing the same thing.
