I WENT TO JAIL FOR A SCAM I INNOCENTLY FELL INTO…

I went to jail for a scam that I innocently fell into!! My husband and I had recently went to a company party that was held at a nearby casino. While we were there we signed up for give-a-ways. Everything from trips to jackpots for money. When we returned home we didn't think anything of it again. Three weeks after our trip, I received a letter in the mail with a $2,900.00 check. It stated that I had won a jackpot. I called the number on the letter and also called the bank that the check was written from. Everything checked out fine. We had never won anything before and I just assumed that my "weird" feeling was from not knowing what to expect when you win. I went to a cashing agent a couple of days later. I had got off work too late to go by my bank. While I was waiting to have the check cashed, the agent had called the police! Within ten minutes I was handcuffed and lying on the floor. I went to jail and spent the night. Agents from Florida were there 6 hours later to interview me. I was an emotional mess! I have 2 little girls and a husband at home that was scared also. I was not granted a bond until the police investigated the check and my story. Thank God they believed my story and realized that I was an innocent bystander. I was released the following afternoon. I might not have lost any money, but I lived in hell for 48 hours. Beware! I hope no one has to go thru what I did.
