What is the name of your state? ca
FYI- My wife recently received a letter on Tri-Delta Partners letterhead stating that she had won a drawing for $48,000.00 in a contest sponsered by Publisher's Clearing House, Online gaming, and Reader's Digest. The letter said that she must respond within 15 days or forfeit the winnings. The letter said that she should cash the enclosed certified check for $2975.00 then immediately contact them for instructions on where to send the remaining money. Supposedly the enclosed check was to be taken out of her total winnings and was to be used to pay taxes and fees associated with the prize. The check was very authentic looking and even had a watermark. My wife was already talking about what she'd spend the money on while I was googling "PCH scams". Turns out the whole thing is indeed a fake. They have you deposit the check and then get your personal info before the check bounces. Then they convince you to send money to pay the lawyers that are fighting to "release" the funds which have been held up.
Don't do it! Apparently many people have send thousands of dollars in hopes of getting their money that will never come.
