If you cash the cheque and send money ,the cheque bounces and you are held to replace money for the amount of cheque.

First, Readers Digest does not have Lottery. Second, you can search here or google, or any search for Canadian Scam.

I also got one with a similar story. I called and they requested that the check be deposited. Has anyone deposited their check? If so, what happened? Did anything happen negative to your checking account or do you owe money?

I recieved the same thing. The letter and the check. The amounts are different though I supposedly have won 255,###.oo and the check is for 4 thousand and something I have it at home. The check looks totally real.. no small writing stating anything that its promotional.. So, its probably just a bunk check ( wil never clear) mine had an attached to the check the receipt part that states they have already taken their fees from the check at like 4.75 percent and some other fee...its sitting on my desk as a hopeful "what if its not a scam". I wish... I'll call and if they want any money on wnat to talk about wester union... subscriptions timeshares or any of the like ... I'll hang my head and tear it... You think if the mere fact the Reader's Digest has a real Sweepstakes they should be forced to publish a clear and concise statement as to the process of collect is... I mean being so big has responsibility. The punishment also does not fit the crime. I have been reading these scammer get small time behind bars making it low risk high gain. -David Saffell, Concord California
