OK everyone. Lawyers do not use gmail. These are all variations of the dying man/woman scam. They are known as 'Money box scams'. The situation changes, but it always involves you being contacted about a large amount of money. The scam? At some point, when they have you thinking you'll get something for nothing, is to convince you to send a 'fee' to help move the money along. It could be taxes on a lottery win, airport fee, courier service - you name it. They are all very simple Nigerian advance fee scams. You send money = you get nothing. Would everyone PLEASE check the settings on your Facebook accounts. And stop 'friending' strangers. If they say they are a 'friend' of Joe/Sally - contact Joe/Sally FIRST. If Joe/Sally don't know who they are, & just clicked 'accept', tell Joe/Sally they aren't too swift.
Sent letter with a $3000.00 check saying I'd won 300,000$ and to call this number asking for Andy Morrison with claim number. I called some Indian speaking guy said he was andy Morrison. When I questioned him he hung up.
RECEIVED CK FOR $3,997.30 SUPPOSEDLY TO PAY TAXES ON A $300,000 LOTTERY WIN . DID NOT ENTER ANY LOTTERY. AM SUPPOSED TO CALL THIS NUMBER FOR ANDY MORRISON TO BEGIN CLAIM PROCESS. AM SURE IT IS A SCAM. THINK I WILL ASK BANK TO PROCESS AS A COLLECTION ITEM JUST TO BE SURE.
My check was for 4,355.20. I called the number for Andy Morrison and could not leave a message. He called back and said I was to deposit the check in my bank and then call him back. I can't figure out how this would benefit him but suspected a scam. I googled Hoffman and called their number. It is indeed a scam. .

that day in the morning before sending the money I had withdrawn from the account, I call Andy Morrison to claim what had happened with the check, after shouting, hung up the phone on me and did not answer the phone. Andy Morrison sent me a letter from Fidelity Finance Inc company with address and telephone number are reflected in this message telling me I had won a big prize and that prize $300,000.00. $4390.25 deducted for taxes and I am sending a copy of the original check. Deposit in my checking account this money, and wait two days for it to clear. Within two days I go to the bank and the money is on the account and 20 minutes after the check was canceled by the bank because it was a forged check.
