I received the same letter and I called mr. mike chetan amd the minute I mentioned the letter he said to just deposit the check for $2980.10 and that's all he would say nothing more cuz he was in meetings all day. SCAM ALL THE WAY
Received a check in the mail for $2980.10 adminstration fee for a prize clain for $45,000.
Called the said number and a MIke answered the phone with out any company name. He stated to deposit the check and call back when it cleared. I asked him the name of the company and what the process was and he stated"can't you hear, I just stated to deposit the check and call back when it clears".
This tells me that it is a scam trying to steal your identity. The phone number does come up in a cross reference, and neither does the company.
My wife got the same letter. I called Mike Chetan, but he wouldnt speak to me. I asked him to explain how this was NOT a scam, and he just said he couldnt talk to me about it. It's an OBVIOUS scam.
one of my employees received the same letter and asked me what I thought, I told her it's a ripoff. I know there is a common fraud like this where they send you a check and ask you to deposit it. Then when you,ve done that, they tell you to send them a check (often for the same amount of money) and they wil then send you the rest of your "prize." The fact that they are opperating out of Canada but use a bank in Mississippi seems a bit strange to me. Stay away is my advice.
I receivied the very same letter, I went to my bank and asked them to look over the letter and check, they reported that this was a scam trying to steal my identity, so please even though it is tempting do not deposit the check, think about it, even if the check clears they will have your Bank name, account number, signature, if thats not enough to stop you from depositing the check I dont know what is.
I received one yesterday just like this- Its totally a scam- the bank its written on is real but has no account number that is valid for Primera Trust Service.-- seriously people you have to work to get anything-- nothing is for free!! Also- read the name-- that should tell us something
