Yet another scam making the rounds - just remember this:

... the rule of thumb is, if they want money back, chances are it's a scam.

Reader's Digest and Publishers Clearing House have held popular sweepstakes drawings since the '50s. A brand new scam is pretending to be one of those. It's not.

The letter says you've won $50,000, but you need to send back $2,500.
