Does anyone know for sure...is Global Union Sweepstakes (headquarters located in Canada) a scam?

A check for $2,975.00 is mailed along with a letter and asks u to call before cashing the check to verify that the check and the letter was received. The check is supposed to cover the insurance on the sweepstakes prize. The check was drawn on Wells Fargo Bank and was cashed by the recipient. So, the insurance for the prize was paid, but to no avail...no prize money has been awarded.

let me guess you won second prize in an international sweepstakes in the amount of 200,000 dollars right? I got that letter and check in the mail about a week ago and followed the instructions to the tee and I can say yes it is a scam thanks to those dead beats who devote their time preying on people who work hard for their living I am in legal problems with my personal bank the only difference in my case is that the check was drawn on some bank in Texas that do not even exist.
Reply:I received a check and a letter too. I deposited the check and waited for it to clear. It cleared for a day then my bank informed me that it wasn't a good check. Lucky for me I waited to send any money to them. Can anyone tell me what happened after that happens? Did anyone else call them back Report Abuse
