Yea, I got the same letter. I actually took it to the bank and opened a separate savings for it because I was unsure about it. I was so hoping it was true because I actually played a publishing lottery on the Publishing Clearing House web page. A actually called this Oscar Bonuji/John Gonzalez and actually talked to someone saying that they were Bonuji instructing me to do exactly what I did above. Turns out after 2 days I called the bank only to be told that the check is being returned as a possible fraud. Them dirty son of B.%#@. Don't go for it. It is a fraud!

I JUST GOT THE SAME LETTER FROM PUBLISHER LOTTERY SUIT 207-2234 OXFORD DRIVE,SYRACUSE,NY13220 AND IT WAS A COPY.THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, THEY GOING AROUND GETTING PEOPLES HOPES UP BUT I GOT SOMETHING FOR THEM THEY ARE MESSING WITH THE RIGHT ONE.ANYONE WHO GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL 911,THEY ARE NOTHING BUT THIEVES AND DECEIVERS.

My letter is from National Lottery Promotion with an address of Suit 305-1105 Interstate Drive, Richfield, OH 44286. Everyone who got one of these letters and wants help make these scammers pay for their crimes (which won't include punishment for all the false hope followed by disapointment. It took me two hours to explain ti my 84 year-old mother that this is a scam. When it finally sank in, she wept. This is why I am Out For Blood) Anywho, these letters and checks (or copies of) need to be sent to the Attourney General of your state AND the state they are sent from And the state of the bank the checks are written on. Also contact your Post Master General, listed in the phone book under United States Post Office (if not listed just contact your local post office and they will be MORE than happy to assist. They LOVE to nails these kind of creeps) because this IS mail fraud. And don't forget your local law enforcement. Also at the bottom of the letter I recieved, there were logos belonging to K-mart, Walmart, Target, and others. These businesse need to be made aware this because they can legally persue these jerks under the copy-right laws. And Last but certainly not least. If the person receiving this scam letter is ELDERLY, the National Coalation Against Elderly Abuse can help and will often times even help with the legal issues of regaining money lost due to the scam. I love this last one because, trust me, you DON'T want to p****off a group of old people. Even if they are wrong they get the simpathy vote and sometimes win.
Good luck to all and remember, If we stick together and make our voices loud and unrelently, we CAN make a difference.

I received the same letter today in the mail  from national Lottery Promotion with a check for $4,998.and immediately thought something wasn't right as the envelope had no return address, my first name was spelled incorrecty, and the check wasn't even made out correctly, only text for the $$ amount, and no figures like a proper check...How on earth do these people get our information? Someone should call them at this phone # 1-778-891-8733 and mess with them and see how they like it!! SCAMMERS!!!!!

I was sent a check in the mail. Its a scam. These people only pray on people whose poor. Once these people r found yes they need 2 b prosecuted.

We got a letter too and called the number. I am wondering if you know anymore about them

I got the same letter and check from National Lottery Promotion, the bank on the check was JPMorganChase.

I called them, they said to deposit the check and call them back for a confirmation number so that i can buy this insurance before receiving the 200,000.

Then I tried to google the company and couldn't find it, but I found this website and saw that you all had similar experiences.

Then I called JP Morgan Chase bank (their security department) and gave them the account numbers on the check and was told that it was probably fraudulent.  Its a pity.

just got this in the mail as well its a scam

I got a letter from Nation lottery promotions richfield oh claiming the same thing that I won 200,000.00 dollars with a check for 4,989.43 with the letter I called chris ayala but of course no answer then a guy with an african accent called me today an couldn't answer one question I had, he just told me to call the number an depoist the check, what a scam , it had me going for a min

I also got a letter from mega bucks promotional, they gave me a fraud check and I am having problems with my bank now. For anybody reading this do not trust them, it is a scam, and report them immediately.

Yes they call me trying to get all my imfomation, telling I won money,

Yet I got the same letter but it was a copy & didn't even spell November right, no return address, no emails, sent from Seattle yet the check is from Ohio and promotion from Washington to many flaws & that should be the biggest red light, & when u call the tell u to keep it a Secret.....BEWARE!!!!!!!

just got the very same thing, i dont even know what to say.......

I just went to my mailbox and opened a letter that was sent to my 11 year old son! The letter says that he won $200,000.00 and that they were giving him a check in the amount of $3,989.43 to cover insurance and expenses as per his winnings. The letter requested that he call a specific claims respresentative to claim his prize. The envelope was sent from Seattle, yet the check says 3520 Interstate Drive, Richfield OH....but wait...the letter says it came from National Lottery Poromotion, Suite 112-1105 Interstate Drive, Richfield OH. This is a complete and udder mess. I am too inteligent for this one but what in the world would have happened if my son saw this first? I shudder to think. Please be careful everyone, I am ripping this to shreads as I speak to you.

I also got a letter from mega bucks promo . but my bank is going to pull a scam on them.The names and numbers are not the same as everybody elses letter.

I received the same basic letter today.  claim number 850129B7. They sent a check for $4,966.39 on Wachovia Bank but like above, it's no good.  Can not get through to CHRIS AYALA and Patric Lee does not answer either. This whole thing is just a scam BEWARE>>>BEWARE!!!

This is a SCAM!!! Do not fall for this trick. I work for a bank and i've seen this type of scam. One of my customers came in with a check from Mega Bucks Promotional. I called Mike Vong pretending to be my member. As I figured Mike wanted me to withdraw from my account $3400 and send it to Paula Newson at 3505 Woodlake Dr. Tx. Long story Short. Never, Ever give your personal info or Money to strangers.

Got the same letter and check amount as Crystal except that my contact is John Peters.  I plan to contact my AG's office plus the businesses they put at the bottom of the letter.  They need to be stopped.  Shoot, I'd hoped the $5,100 check was real at least.  My car needs a new catalytic converter.....

I received the same letter from Mega Buck Promotional stating that I had won 200,000.00 . They sent me a check for 5,100.49. I called the number on bottom of this letter and he said I would need to contact the MIKE VONG guy at the prize distribution Department. I tried but no answer. This is from The First National Bank in Alaska.

Anyone who gets a big check for something they didn't enter should KNOW it's a scam.   DO NOT DEPOSIT IT.  Contact your state AGs office regarding scams.

I got one too from "Mega Bucks Promotional" saying i was one of the three randomly selected finalist. I got it with a check which was $4,990.00 from Vision Managing General Agency For Vision Insurance Company from Frost Bank Fort Worth, TX dated 9/30/11 and claim number #936172F5. The name of the customer care representative is JOHN PETERS.... hmmmmm... i know its a scam because i tried asking questions about why they told me to deposit the money and call them back on my prize. Just didnt seem right. He was very rude too!!!

I received the same letter with a check for 4,990 and I too called John Peters and was told to deposit the check and call back when it clears. So when my bank said the check was returned I instantly called them back to see what was going on. I can say it is a scam and is not funny it needs to stop.

Was sent a sweepstakes winning letter from Mega bucks promotions with the same claim number EVERYONE HERE stated and with the same 9123304479 number . They sent a $5,000.00 check. That doesn't have funds. They tell u to deposit it and that it will be available the next day. Then they ask u to call them back after a day so that they can release the other $200,000.00 that u supposedly won. When u call them back the next day, they tell u that they need u to pay for the insurance process on the winnings. When I asked them how much it was they said 1,890.00. I told them I didn't have that kind of money. They told me, u take it out from the $5,000.00 u just deposited. I told them the check didn't clear. They said it did. So here's the scam. They give u a valid check from a valid bank. Then ask u for ur debit card info so they can pay for the "insurance process". When u give them ur bank info, they take ur money and bounce the check they sent u. So now ur out the money u thought u won and whatever money u paid them for the "insurance process". GOOD ONE!!! But not me. I'm not that gullible. I googled everything!! Thanks google and all the ppl that posted on this page.

I received the same letter from Mega Bucks Promotional with all the same info. the check was on an account with Frost Bank in Fort Worth, I called there is an account but not enough funds for the $4,990.00 their bank was not happy that I was going to open a business account so I could deposit it then charge double if it bounces, then collect through Tx court what was in the account. I also checked online the State of Texas reconizes the business  Vision Managing General Agency. Alfred Loya is a real company called Fred Loya Insurance at 1800 Lee Trevino El Paso Tx. I called them and told them I was unhappy that the check I was sent with the claim number Tin #77-0672517 (which states Full and Tinal release of all claims demands and Liens, in the memo), they put me through all sorts of claims ppl and also to a rep for their fraud dept. I was told they have received several calls on checks and gave me the Tx BBB fraud link to report the company. So I did fill out all the information just as I have here since the Fred Loya is connected to the Vision Insurance Company. My suggestion is to call the Frost Bank(numbers are online) then call Fred Loya Insurance about the funds not there for your check at 817-420-5200.
