NEBRASKA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS WARNING OF A NEW TYPE OF SWEEPSTAKES SCAM.
THE SWEEPSTAKES NOTICE CONTAINS THE LOGO OF VIRGIN MOBILE U-S-A, HOWEVER, THE STATE CONSUMER POTECTION DIVISION FOUND THE COMPANY IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE SWEEPSTAKES. THE LETTER STATES A CONSUMER IS A WINNER OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, BUT MUST PAY A CLEARANCE FEE TO RECEIVE THE MONEY.
CONSUMERS ARE DIRECTED TO DEPOSIT A CHECK ENCLOSED WITH THE NOTICE, BUT THE CHECK IS NO GOOD.
CONSUMERS BELIEVING THEY'VE BEEN VICTIMIZED BY THIS OR OTHER SCAMS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION.
