Sweepstakes Winner & Lottery winner Scams  We have had a couple more of these scams show up in mailboxes of our citizens.  The letter usually advises that you have won the sweepstakes or a random lottery and ask you to call a phone number.  The person who answers the phone will try to convince you to cash the included check and send them the money so they can process your winnings.  The check will bounce and you will never hear from them again and you will be left owing your bank for the bad check.  Please, if you receive a similar suspicious letter, bring it to the Colfax Police Department.
