This is via the official American Idol website and I figured I would pass it along to everyone
[note]FOX and the producers of “American Idol” have received information about a mail fraud scam using sweepstakes award letters printed on what appears to be “American Idol” letterhead and allegedly signed by creator and executive producer, Simon Fuller. The letter notifies recipients that they have been selected as a winner of a sum of money and contains fraudulent checks and a phone number to call to claim the fake “prize” checks.
FOX, the producers of “American Idol,” and their subsidiary companies, do not sponsor or support any lottery, sweepstakes or prize contest that resembles the letter referred to above. The producers of “American Idol” are investigating this mail fraud in conjunction with local and national law enforcement agencies.[/note]
The first clue should have been that it wasn’t from AMERICAN Idol but NIGERIAN Idol.

Too bad Amy, now you wont be able to build that mansion in the Bahama”s next door to Simon”s. But hey, maybe you can hang some extra mirrors around the house to make you feel better. Ha-ha-ha :lol:[/quote]
LOL, Lee, you thought of the most wonderful consolation prize! I’ll get my hubby to work this weekend hanging all those mirrors. Just dandy.
