Bill Cole - Sarah Owen - Lincoln Trust Prize Was told we won 50,000 dollars, the check will be sent to us this friday. We will receive one check and then another after they take out a clearance fee from our bank account West Ham London
We were notified by letter that we won 50,000 dollars on November 22,2008.
We called the number and was told that they got my husband name from entering a sweepstakes at Home Depot. He said that a check would be mailed in seven days and that we would only receive 5 percent so that we could pay a clearance fee and then receive the remainder. He also said not to tell anyone for secuity purposes.

They send you a worthless and downright fradulent check, tell you to deposit it and take cash out to send them with a real check of your own. That way you are on the stick at your bank to make your check good when theirs bounces. Best ro wait a week or two for the "winnings" to come back NSF and then take the check and mail it to your state Attorney General for prosecution. Time to close down these sub-human maggots for good. GGGGRRRRR!!!!

i was told that all fees would be taken out automatically and that all I had to do is call when I received the check to notify them.

THE CHECK FOR FEES / TAXES IS THE RED FLAG Legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes do not send you checks to pay fees and taxes with, just to have you send the money back to them. Those fees and taxes are removed from winnings BEFORE you ever see a check.
