I received a letter telling me I hit 500,000 and a check for 6,995.00 today. I have been getting these for some time now. I am 74 and a ex Vietnam special forces I have decided to start working out and go and get this fool and test him a lesson. The post office and the government are not doing a thing to help Americans from being ripped off.
My son who is 11 years old received two letters with checks saying he had won a sweepstakes check issued by Omega Bank called them bogus check. Second letter be a secret shopper and cash check and send money through Money Gram different phone number 905-782-9977 these people are those Nigerian scams you hear about on tv and the internet. DO NOT CASH THESE CHECKS!!! Also what can I do to stop these checks from coming in my son's name and how did they get his name? These people need to be stopped.
We received A letter and A check from ALL STATES MANAGEMENT SERVICES LTD.
Drawn On a UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA! In the amt of $4.875.00… When I called Union bank to verify funds, they did not have a client with that name! I will be turning this check and letter over to the US POSTAL INSPECTOR!!!!! THIS IS A BOGUS CHECK DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR ACCOUNT! Union bank never heard of this company…..IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!! IT IS
RPEARCE The phone number on the letter is 1-647-219-1858
I did call them back, and told them I had deposited the check (which I had not) Ok I will play the silly game, I was then told to wire them the same amt back! of 4.875, and then in two days I would get anonhter check of 120 K...I was born but not yesterday! Someone is suposed to call me tomorow with whear to wire the funds!!! I intend to milk these people for as much info as I can get! I will keep you posted...
I got the letter but mine said it was for a settle claim. The funny thing is that about a year or two ago I did take part in class action against a company, my share of the 'settlement' was only $4.57 but even that one came registered! When this one came in a plan envelope I knew it could not be real...as much I wanted it too be LOL
I did some research too but decided to call to see what would happen. A man with a heavy acent answered "This is Jon" and I said "Hello Jon, I am a part of the class action settlement and I am wondering if you can tell me how to get to your website, I want to know about your wonderful company." He hung up. His 'name' on the letter was Jon Bill V.P. Loss Prevention.
I don't think we can do anything to these people. I am sure since it is from another country there would be too much red tape to bother. I can see how you can be scammed if you are not looking carefully...the check looks very real. But I had heard of this scam and the really poorly created letterhead gave it away.
By the way, I am 51, not retired, and not wealthy by any means. I think it's just random like the lady who's son got one. Too many people will continue to fall for this and that is why it keeps happening. There are some mean people in this world.
Amazing... I got the letter from All States Management Services LTD as well stating I had an outstanding sweepstakes claim and they also sent a check for $$4875.00. Notice though the check is drawn from Union Bank of California and the company is out of San Diego, CA however the postmark on the very plain envelop is from Canada.
When calling the number I also heard the man with the heavy accent say "this is Jon"... I hope no one gets caught in this scam!!
