Received pink letter in the mail, said that she won 2.5 million with a check enclosed for $9,150.00. Called one of the 3 numbers listed on the letter, the one I called was 929-771-4308. The others were 306-262-0363 and 236-838-0238. I spoke to a Gloria Costa and she told me to deposit the check after confirming my name and security code, and then call her back. I didn't deposit the check but I called her back to tell her I did, she then told me to call her back the next morning to set up a day and time for the prize patrol to come with the big check and balloons. I called back when asked to and was given an obvious line of bs saying that she checked online at her bank and said that the check had cleared the night before at midnight, she told me that because I told her I didn't feel comfortable sending her the $4,900 she requested for FDIC insurance and attorney fees from the check that was sent. I then told her she was a liar that the check did not clear because I never deposited it. She then called me a liar and I asked her how she slept at night screwing the elderly out of money. She then hung up and blocked further calls from me. I have attached a copy of the check that I received.
