I received a letter in the mail from Mass Mutual Financial with a Canadian address which included a check for $4700 just like the rest of you. This is a flag for fraud. I searched for proof of the company and nothing turned up. I searched through the phone number listed on the letter and got to this page.
FRAUD!
Received letter saying I'm entitled to $180,000 US Dollars... Enclosed was check for $4,250, of which $2,750 was to be returned to pay taxes before sending the remainder. Was to call Ken @ 905-616-2889. Scam from Tri-Star Inc in Hamilton, Ontario. 253-270-6871 is the fax number listed along with 888-730-2165.
Same here, got a letter from Tri-Star Inc at 1 king Street Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8P3A8 sayin that I have won a prise of $180K and it sent in a check for $4,250 to seem legit. It however wants you to call a specific number.
