I received a letter, telling me that I had won aprox 57000.00 from a Clarksville, Georgia company called Scovill Fasteners. included was a check for almost 4000.00 that was for insurance and handling fees for the prize winnings. I was instructed to call a Susan Tyler before August 15th, at 5:00pm. which I did. she told me that they were a sponsor for Publishes clearing house, and that I should deposit the check, wait for it to clear, and call back to get further instructions. When I expressed that I couldn't believe I had won anything, She told me to remember that I would have to pay taxes on it next year,which of course I stated, "can do!"! I info, on the check, and envelope, matched all of the info from Scovill fasteners, which I checked from the internet I have brought the check to my bank, where they will check out the bank where the check is supposedly from, which is Regions bank. The letterhead said Scovill Financial. i know this is a scam, and if anything, I would let my bank clear the check, in a separate account. I am Disabled, and a starving Artist in the hinterlands of Maine! These predators need to be stopped!!! Any one else hear from these people?
