Do not deposit this check for $2962.30, this is nothing but an attempt to get access to your account information, I checked out Keybank National, it has many fraudulent claims, a man with a Jamacian accent answered the phone and would not give me a list of departments or phone numbers of the bank.
If you are smart you will tear this check up and make a report to the FBI, this is a classic trick for someone to take your money and run, it is also, highly illegal.
I received the same letter and have forwarded copies to the Attorney General , FBI , Better Business Bureau, PCH, Readers Digest, and the local police department.
I have also, learned that any legimate prize give away does not require you to deposit a so called check for processing fees, processing fees are not required and any taxes federal, local, or state are the sole responsibilty of the prize winner.
I also have contacted the National Lawyer's Association.
I was advised that legimate organizations do not ask you to expend any money or account information without the proper legal documentation.
The letter is obviously a cheaply printed duplicate.
And on closing most so called prize money originating in the Virgin Islands is almost always a scam, international law does not apply there.
Hope this helps, if you have deposited the check call your bank and have it suspended immediately and ask for a new account #.
Hope this information helps.
They cannot get access to your account info, a counterfeit check would not be returned to the counterfeiter, and reading the back of the check is the only way to get your account info.
