Did you truly wait for the check to clear? If it was a foreign check it could take weeks to clear. Just because a bank accepts it doesn't mean it is good!! They have no way of telling if it is counterfeit until it bounces back weeks later. If you did not wait for it to completely clear and you SENT the money and the check bounces you will owe the bank the $2998.50. If you did wait for it to totally clear before you sent the money - be very careful. You could be a part of a money laundering scheme - the Federal Government takes a very dim view of this. No matter what you did or what they say you did NOT win any lottery. No lottery in the world, to my knowledge, makes you send them money to get 'your' money. Good luck.
