Scam
By Linda C. Ibarra

I am always entering sweepstakes sponsored by Publishers Clearing House and Readers Digest. This is the second time I've received a scam check.

The first time I deposited the amount in the bank and finally I called the company who issued the check and I found out it was a scam. I returned everything, the deposit to my bank with all the supporing documents, and everything was taken care of.

Now, I have again received a check but I learned a lesson from my first one and I am going to do the same -- call the company issuing the check and return the check to them.

I am writing this so everybody will be aware of this scam going around.
