National Consumer Protection Week is 3-8 March 2013. Educate yourself at www.ncpw.gov or https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov

That check in the mail for your Winning taxes - it's a scam and you will lose money. Never wire transfer money from any source to someone you do not know personally and have shaken their hand.

Too many people in America are falling for these scams. DeliveringTrust.com is a great place to educate yourself. Wire transfering money? Your getting scammed - especially if its for a lottery or mystery shopper.

So true. Stick to the real Lotteries that you get at the store and gas station. They will withhold your taxes - if not then it is just a fraud scheme to part you from your money. Wake up people....smell the coffee, or in this case scam.
