Description
Description I previously reported this but wanted to attach the form and check they sent me I received a letter in the mail supposedly from Publisher's Clearing House saying I had won 2nd Place in the 100 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 call and was told to deposit the check, but the bank said it was invalid and would not accept it.
