Saltex Inc.

Just got my check in the mail from Saltex Inc. supermarket customer sweep. check is for $8000.00 and they want a fee of $7,000 + . and the amount I won was $900,000 . The balance to be paid in full and delivered by UPS/FEDEX.
When I dialed the number as the letter instructed me to do , I asked for Robert Goodman. When the phone picked up on the other line they said “hello.’ that’s it . Suspicious . He took my confirmation number from me and then read back the check number and asked if I was in Ca. etc. then he told me to go and deposit the check and call him back for instructions to complete the transaction. I have no idea how people get scammed on this , the only was is if you write a check out of your own pocket before the check clears. Still I am PISSED!
