I had this happen. I called the bank that the check was made through, and they told me that account did not exist. I'm not as stupid as the scammer hoped me to be.

If the woman was smart, she would of waited a week or so until the check cleared her bank. If the scam artist told her to send them back a check right away through Western Union, she should of told them I'm waiting for your check to clear my bank first. I'm not in a rush to get my lottery winnings. Hold your horses.😛

What makes this whole situation all the more ridiculous is that there's countless ways to avoid it from EVER happening, like how hard can it be to say "I've never signed up for this contest" or "taxes are never paid up front" or "since when are taxes exactly 8,000 bucks?" or "since when is income tax paid by moneygram?" or "you people supposedly have millions of dollars for me, why can't you just deduct the 8 thousand?" or even "tell u what, just as soon as your check is clear I'll go ahead and send u the money" and literally COUNTLESS other questions to expose the scammer and call him on his bullshit; the red flags are everywhere. Any shit-for-brains can figure it out. If u EVER fall for this pathetic rubbish, it damn well serves u right. YOU should go to jail, not the scammer. Like, 2 fucking brain cells is all u need..
