Yep, we too got a yellow letter from H C Foundation incorporated telling us we had won $320,000 and with a 'check' for $3991.00 -- I guess we got short changed six bucks!!!
I work for a Federal Law enforcement agency, so I'll be following up on my end, but would you mind posting the phone number for the bank so others can call them and report this? What I'm curious to know is how they got hold of all our names and addresses.
RECEIVED LETTER FROM M R C FINANCIAL , RE: CASH PAYOUT NOTICE ,STATED
WINNER OF $700,000 JACKPOT, WITH A CHECK FOR $3,630.00 ,CALLED NUMBER ON
LETTER ( 1-778-319-4977 ) THE FOREIGN SPEAKING MAN (JOHN WILSON )SAID TO CASH CHECK AND SEND $2385.00 IN A MONEY GRAM TO AN ADDRESS IN CANDANA AND I WOULD BE RECEIVING MY $700,000 THE FOLLOWING WEEK. CALLED FBI TO REPORT,
THEY SAID IT WAS A SCAM. HOPE HE IS STILL WAITING
Received a letter from MRC Financial RE: cash payout of $2878 as the winner of a $700,000 lottery. The number on the letter was 1-306-351-5923 and it said that the mailbox was full. John Wilson is listed as the operations manager on the letter with James Peters as the Accounts Manager. The CFO is Richard Ray who signed the letter. Looks like a real check, but sounds like a complete scam to me. I will call the FBI, too!
My letter arrived for my "winning a charitable jackpot" of $600,000.00 with a check enclosed for 3,723.00 to cover those legal, processing, insurance fees I may encounter. WOW! How many people really believe this crap? My letter and check now reside in a shredder. The FBI probably can't keep up all the scams out there. Anyone wonder what Canada is doing about this since all the phone numbers seem to be from them? Everyone should beware, if you didn't buy a ticket or enter a legit contest then you are being taken for a ride.
