Answer 1

if its an international company and they have only contacted you over the phone it is a fraudulent company. If you wish to use there service you can check with the BBB they will list all complaints filed with them. It is free too. BUT never give them any money, for if you have won a prize then why would they not want 10% of the prize money instead of money from you ahead of time? Also try www.phonefraud.com

DO NOT believe that everyone calling with an exciting promotion or investment opportunity is trustworthy, especially if you do not know the caller or their company.

DO NOT invest or purchase a product or service without carefully checking out the investment, product, service, and the company.

DO NOT be afraid to request further documentation from the caller so you can verify the validity of the company.

DO NOT be fooled by the promise of a valuable prize in return for a low cost purchase.

DO NOT be pressured to send money to take advantage of a "special offer or deal."

DO NOT be hurried into sending money to claim a prize that is available for only a "few hours"

DO NOT disclose information about your finances, bank accounts or credit cards ( not even the credit card expiry date).

DO NOT be afraid to hang-up the phone.

DO contact Project Phonebusters if you are contacted by someone who promises you great prizes, but you are required to send money in advance for shipping, handling, taxes, etc.

DO contact Project Phonebusters if you are contacted by someone who says that you have won a prize, but you have to purchase a product to qualify.

Answer 2

My daughter just received a similar letter and check. You can check the routing number on the check quite easily.  The routing number on the check my daughter received did not match up with the bank on the check.  I verified that with the bank and yes, this is a scam.  Typically what happens is you deposit the check they send you, write one of yours to cover the fees, and the other check bounces, leaving you in the hole for $2500 or more.
