It's very believable because I also received (separately) my ING statement. It looked too good to be true until I researched "ING SWEEPSTAKES HOAX" read about the guy who got scammed. The check didn't clear and he wanted to sue ING Direct. <br /><br />The check (according to the letter) was to assist me in paying the Non-Resident Government Service Tax and it must be paid in full before winnings can be legally released. Very fishy, indeed. Beware of the sweepstakes scams, especially if it should ask you for money to process your (bogus) winnings. Yes, ING Direct included. I don't see why don't shut down the websites that use its company name to scam poor and gullible people.Gulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-32525385636345087042008-01-20T23:32:00.000-05:002008-01-20T23:32:00.000-05:00Direct deposits count???
