I received a letter in the mail yesterday saying I won $250,000 in the Switzerland mega sweepstakes. it came with a check for $4,975 I'm suppose to deposit the check in my bank and then send $2,950 to a tax agent. well guess what, its a scam. I called the bank and and they said that they have received several calls from people who had deposited the check and sent the money only to have their bank want the money back because the check was no good. be careful. no real sweepstakes will make you pay upfront to get your winnings. if you receive a letter like this report it to the U.S. postal service or your local district attorney.
