It seems this letter has gotten around a bit. I received this same letter in the mail in October of 2011, as well as the 'cheque' as they spell it, and to contact a Riley Michaels at 289-892-2811. I did not cash it or call, but I have tried to look up the letter head name etc. NOTHING. I feel that this is a very cruel way of waiving hopes of a few bucks that does not exist under the noses of Americans who are trying to get back on thier feet after a hard economy hit. I know I DID NOT WORK to earn this money, as to why i did not try to cash it. Its reality of cruel people. Im very old school, and I very much believe in CARMA. The ones generating these 'cheques' WILL one day have to answer the question as to WHY. Any one who receives these same chain letters should NOT give them a second of thier time, unless they have the funds to pay it back ten fold. ITS A SCAM, and by thinking its LUCK you are becoming part of the scam. Just shred it, and keep your day job.
It's a scam. The checks are fraudulent. Even if your bank cashes the check for you,,,4 or 5 days later it will come back as a back check and you lose the money. The woman at Time Tore Company told me to go to Walmart and purchase a Money Pak card. Then she wanted me to call her back with the receipt numbers and other info that would be on my receipt. That would be her way of getting access to my $ and then I would have nothing. DON'T FALL FOR IT. rip up the check and the letter.
Hey I just got a letter in the mail aswell. The company is Royal Marketing Company. I actually called the number 1-289-892-4213 Natan James he said that I had won an online survey. I asked him what the catch was and he said there is not catch this a ligit prize and to put the check in the bank and call him again when it clears and they will send the rest of my "winnings" too me $9,700. The check is signed by a Jessica Telts or Telt. The Northern Trust Company chicago payable thru Northern Trust Bank Dupage, Oakbrook Terrace Ill. I am wondering if this is the samething as everyone else has posted here just a different name the check and letter all seems ok the only thing I see a strange is they spell the word "check" as "cheque". Was thinking about cashing it because I have done a lot of surveys any ideas?
Jess,,,don't bother cashing the check. I went to my bank and cashed it..they told me it's a fraudulent check. It's going to take between 10 - 15 days for the out of state check to be completely cleared even though they already cashed it for me. I now have to put the money back into my account because when the check comes back as fraudulent the bank is going to want their money back. These scumbags are very smart but we have to be smarter. The address on my check doesnt exist. The Time Tore Company is nothing but scam artists that are untraceable.
