I got a letter in the mail, from the same place. I called and he told me to put the check in the bank and call him back.the phone number was 905-598-5410. What do I need to do?
Received a check in the mail today in the amount of $3875.00 with my full legal name & address imprinted. Also included were the names "Vestil Manufacturing Corp." and "Key Bank National Association." Plain letter telling me that I won $125,000 from a 12/24/11 drawing, and instructing me to call Claim Agent, Jeffery Miller at 1-289-892-5725. Letter was from Promotion Manager, Michelle Wilson. Other information included: Promotions Manager, Price & Award Presentation, Choice Link Securities Inc, 299 York Street, London ON N5W 2S9. Intl: 011447031890269. The outside envelope also says Hudson's Bay Co. When I called at 9:30 pm, a man with a heavy, Haitian accent said, "Hello." No professional greeting at all. He said that my name was randomly picked for shopping at Walmart, Kmar, JcPenney & Home Depot. I'm to deposit the check & call back upon completion. They will tell me where to send $1875.00 to be paid directly to the tax agent. Thank god for the internet & this forum! I decided to google it because I have trust for no one, or for things that sounds too good to be true! Thank you all for your feedback on this website! It truly helped...GRATEFUL.

I have the same check that came thru the mail from EQUITY. (No return address) The check says Vestil Manufacturing Corp written on KEY BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for $3980.00 and I was to pay $1,995.00 in taxes on $150,000.00 I won in a LOTTERY.(YEA) from EQUITY INVESTMENT GROUP in OXFORD, UK 3AS. It says to contact a Claim Agent named MICHAEL DUNDAS.
The check was signed by NATALIE NIEKRO and the letter was signed by a LYNNE WESLEY (Promotion Manager)
If you cash the check, it will take 7 to 10 days to return to your bank and your account will be frozen, even if you have money in your account. This is another form of a Nigerian SCAM.
DO NOT CASH THE CHECK
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. is working on it now. It is Forgery and Mail Fraud.
If it sounds to good to be true, then it's not true!!
