I just got the letter in the mail and all of this sounds too familiar.  Thanks for your input!  Stupid Scammers!
Check for $3980.00 / Michael Quest / Rhonda Scott etc...

Whose # is this? Any help is appreciated.

Listen up!  This is a SCAM!!!!  I called PHD and was told that someone stole their bank info and printed a bunch of fake checks to go with this sweepstakes scam.  This is not a legitimate sweepstakes.  IF it was, you wouldn't need to send anybody any money.  The IRS takes theirs BEFORE they send out ANYTHING.  Throw that envelope in the trash and don't give it another thought.

I got a letter say the same thing to expedite the processing, check inclosed in the ampont of $49995.00 which is part payment of your winning being sent to you the sole purpose of this check is to enable you to pay for the applicable government taxes and insurance on your big winnings. You are required to pay a total sum of $1995.00 for the Govt. TAx. This amount is to be paid through western union directly to the tax agent assigned to you his name is Mr. Deen Mash when the winning is processed you will receives your final check a Lump Sum payment of $245,005.00 this amount will be sent to you the next day after you have deposited the check to your bank in the amount of 4995.00 and which we will take the $1995.00 for governemt tax and fedex will deliver the remaing lump sum of $245,005.00. Also [lease do not attempt to use the check until you call. You are advised to contact you claim agent immediately for futher clarification as indicated. Jacqueline Ryback (Promotion manager).

I got the same thing. I would like to find the SOB'S that have time to sent out these letters and scam people.

Received the same letter with a check for $3,980.  The letter urges me to keep this winning CONFIDENTIAL until your claim has been processed and your cash remitted to you as this is part of our security protocol and to avoice double claiming or unscrupulous acts by non participants taking advantage of this program.  REALLY????  The unscrupulous act is the letter and check.  Claim Agent is Michael Quest.
