Here's a letter that came from Publisher's Clearing House in Yonkers, NY (11255 Woodworth Ave, Suite 403. The $4,700+ check is written on Eagle Components, Inc. in Gaithersburg, MD and drawn on the Sandy Spring National Bank in Olney, MD. The Eagle Components company is legit...in fact they have a warning on their homepage about what someone seems to be doing with their 'good name'.

All my Mom had to do was call Mr. John Edwards @ 1-888-284-7748, Ext. 1 with my verification code before cashing the check. The Internal Revenue Services (note the use of plural) phone number is a cell phone registered in Montreal ((514) 574-4329 Type: Cell Phone; Provider: Fido Solutions; Location: Montreal, Qc, QC)
