phony, I almost lose thousands of dollars

[mrisha]

Too bad there are people out there in the world who do nothing but work on how they can scam people.  I  received a check with my name on it saying that I had won a contest in which I had never entered into plus they had a different address on the check.  I immediately shredded it.  I get emails everyday from strangers telling me about all the millions of dollars they have but can't get to it unless someone else help them and they will pay you a certain amount if you help them with their problem.
