We recently received a come on addressed to her from Union Clearing House out of Vancouver, B.C. Sent a check for $2,990.00 drawn on M&T Bank as the payment of processing fees on the big prize of $67,010. Of course the check is held until you send in that amount to them. Wondered if you are familiar with this scam and how do I let people know about it? I don,t think his mother would have reacted to this without checking with us, but she was 91 years old.

Chances are, no. You can be pretty sure that this is a scam especially with an email address of "yahoo.co.uk" or any other free email account for that matter. If you apply some measure of rationality to the situation you'll see through the scam. cheers @Richard
