Get answers from millions of real people.?

I received a check for 2,995.00 the check was real said I won an additional 160,000, in a drawing in Vegas. So I knew I hadn't enter a contest so I got on the computer and googled the name on the check. It was a lawyer I think in New York or somewhere up north. Seemed legit, so I google the even more, ends up you deposit that check in your account you send them money to pay for something, then they never pay you, the check is really no good they will you lose. It actually ended up out of British Columbia. Glad I checked into it.
