I got a letter saying the same thing I guess and it has the name Mary McWashington on it too saying she is the Manager, consumer promotion agency. I went to my bank which is bank of hawaii and my agency didnt want me to go through with it because it could be a scam, he said who gives money away out of the blue, which is true. so i did not deposit the check. But did you go through with it, and what happened was it really a bogist scam.
rcvd a letter with check withdrawable from wachovia bank from this number w/ contact person by the name of Nelson Urbani.i called him and he instructed me to deposit the check and after it's been cleared i have to buy a money gram and send the money back to Juan Agosto @ 740 Broadway, new york 10003.the letter said that this amount is for the payment of the withholding tax and administrative fee and after sending the money gram to Juan i have to notify Nelson so that he can send me the remaining 12k grand.nelson said that this a customer care reward program launced by the fortune top 500.
I got the same letter today and have been researching the web in an attempt to see if it is legit. The check seems to be legitimate. But I have resevations that this may be a scam. It will be interesting to see if it actually clears the bank. Please post if you find out any more info.
i also rec'd same letter and also tried to search the web to see if i could determine if this is legit or not. After calling Nelson Urbani do you think this is legit? The letter said there were 6 people that were randomly picked selected to share 94,800. What do you think?
People! This is a classic scam! Please tell me you didn't make it to Year 2008 without hearing about this. The check will initially seem to clear and you will send the money. Then it will come back as fraudulent and you will be responsible. Get with the times!
When you cash a check at your bank they will put your account number on the check. When this check is returned to the scammers they have your account number.
