778-858-0979 is affiliated with an 'advance fee lottery' scam. The company name is; Reader’s Digest of 442-8797 323 St Langley B.C. V5Y 2P2. The potential victim is sent a letter from Derek Williams (Chief Financial Officer) informing him that he is a winner of the Reader’s Digest Lotto in the amount of $97,000. Enclosed with the letter is a check in the amount of $5,925.00 (counterfeit) to cover the insurance, and processing charges on the purported winnings. The victim is asked to contact Barry Chuba. This is a SCAM.
I just opened the mail and found my letter and check too. I called the number and what do you know! the number is not working. The check looks very real. Has annyone deposited one yet? Maybe the check is good, I think I will have my back check it out... I also called reader's digest and they don't answer the phone and many of their numbers don't work as well. So maybe reader's digest is behind all of this. WHO KNOWS, the world is fine, it is all the people in it that have gone nutts.
