Description
I received a letter in the mail supposedly from Publisher's Clearing House saying I had won 2nd Place in the 110 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions and Multi-State Lottery Association. the letter said I won $2.5 million. It told me to call a specific number before I deposited the check that was included. The Check was in the amount of $9,900.25 and said it was to cover insurance and attorney fees. I did not call the number because I know this has to be a scam.
