A resident was recently mailed this letter and check from the Multi-State Lottery Association. The letter requests that the recipient call the listed telephone number and speak with the claims representative. The representative would then request that the recipient wire money to cover "insurance fees" for his or her winnings.
The letter/check recipient would lose the money that they wired and the check that was sent to them is worthless. Remember that if it sounds to good to be true, it is.
The resident did not fall victim to this scam.
