So I get this check in the mail for $4,800.00 and it tells me I just won $260.00.00. Being the skeptic that I am (I Dont beleive Anything is free). This is some kind of scam where your are suppose to call someone with your account information so they can send your bank the money. My guess is that if you give them your account, it will soon be emptied of your life savings. So I look it up on the Internet and sure enough it is a scam.

Beware.

I got a similar thin once. I think it was for a British lottery or something. Actually got a check for like $4000 or so. Also believing it was a scam, I did some research. The lottery place didn't exist and neither did the address for the lottery place. The check was actually from a construction company in the US, which also raised my suspicions. I checked out this constuction company and they did exist. Called them up and spoke to a woman who said I was the third person to call that day about the lottery contest with a check from their company. Gave her some info about the items i received and never heard from anyone after that.

It's common knowledge that it only works for growing the second one.
