I’ve received a lot of calls recently from viewers regarding a popular scam. People are receiving a letter saying they’ve won a large amount of money and a check for a small amount. The letter says to cash the check to pay for any fees involved with getting the remaining money transferred. They usually ask that you wire some of the money back to them in order to pay for the transfer fees. Often these “windfalls” come from an international address. Most of the time, these types of offers are a scam. If you are unsure, you can call the Attorney General’s office at 860-808-5400 or write them at:
