Received award letter claiming I had won $125, 000. Enlclosed was a check for $$4, 875 written to me suggesting this was to offset Canadian taxes. I called number at 1-647-829-7116 to claim prize and person told me to deposit check into my checking account immediately, and once check cleared, they would send me remaining amount.
I DID NOT deposit check assuming this was a scam. I assume they want a direct line into your checking/savings accounts??
I'd appreciate and feedback you can provide. I can provide copies of check and letter if you wish.
