online scam?
I recieved a letter from Freebies Universal Sweepstakes that I won $65,000. They issued me an official check for me to cash in the amount of $3150 for fees and processing. Those fees will be be deducted from the payment amount, making my earnings $61,000 they are sending me the money upfront so i do not have to pay out of pocket for the fees, Do you think this is real or a scam???? I dont want to cash the check w/o making sure this is real...
