I got a letter from Canadian Celiac Association, 5025 orbitor drive, building 1, suite 400, Mississauga, ONT L4W4Y5. In the Envolope is a cheque with the amount $ 3996.58. They gave me a # 1-450-369-0821 to activat the cheque. I have never heard of this and I think this is a SCAM! Who would just send a cheque for fun! These are the names they tell me to call Linda Thompson or Stanley Peterson. Or Agent Morgan Finley at 1-226-345-0121.
My bank cashed this cheque for me in person, got a call a week later saying that the cheque went NSF, and that this is probably a fraud scam.
Now they want me to pay back the $3994.75
Out of this amount, $3450 was money wired to the States.
Is it my fault that my bank did not hold this to check if it was legitimate before giving me the cash???
