Question: Lawyers, Legal Help, Help Please!!!?

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine. She was all excited cause she got a notification letter saying she won some random drawing and a check.

The letter said to call the agent to provide additional details on how to collect the rest of the prize.

Now the question:

She’s not here legally but she has the ITIN number that the IRS provided her to report her taxes. If they ask for her social, should she use that number or is she screwed?!

Also the letter says that the prize is non-transferable. I would help her but can’t do. Sucks!

Thanks! She would really appreciate this and me too!
She called but she didn’t gave any information. They told her that the check was to pay the lawyer who was going to be assigned to her file. I thought it was from a random drawing but I guess she entered some sweepstakes! She won!

Answer: Hold on there. This smells like a scam to me. Nobody gets a letter saying they won a random drawing. The “agent” will be happy to provide the additional details on how to collect the rest of the prize, and it involves paying a sum of money to the agent. You follow? This is really old. Forget the IRS and forget the agent and forget thewhole stupid thing. Throw the letter in the trash.
