My boyfriend's elderly grandmother received this letter and check as well from STANDARD TRUST INC. FINANCE from H Ford promising her $250k and all she had to do was call and speak with Mandy Hill at 905-598-4778. This king of thing makes me sick - you see it on the news reports all the time and it is almost ALWAYS someone who is old and needs that money really badly. Thankfully when we used to live with her we always made her watch the news reports so when she saw the letter, she knew it was something fishy. Make sure that you inform everyone you know and love about this scheme if you should be sent this letter - what a bunch of criminals. Disgusting.
Received letter in the mail today 6/2/08 saying i won 250k also received check for 4,620.00 Tryed to call this John Benson guy at first he didnt know who Mr.Benson was I got a kick out of that! Then when I told him I received a letter in the mail about winning in the "COMPENSATION DRAW" from the SWEEPSTAKES ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA he knew who he was then He told me to call him back tommorow that there was some computer problems what an a**! The letter was from Standard Trust Inc 6990 Somerset Street Saint John,NB. I thank all of you for all information on this website. I think I will call him tommorow and mess with him!
I received the same letter but my number listed is 778-858-9767 contact Susan James. I did not call but I immediately went online to check it out. I received a check for $4,620.00 and the letter said I am entitled to $250,000.00 and the address is the same. I enter alot of sweepstakes so I don't know if this is real or not. It does not seem to be.
I received the same letter. The Standard Trust went out of business I believer in 1991. I researched in on the internet too and it seems to be a total scam. My check was from Century Bank which is a real bank and I contacted them so they can research this and report the scam. I do not have confirmation from them yet but from as far as I can tell it is a total scam and I wonder where they get out names from. Probalby the phone company or satallite co. I love how they say they don't share the info but unfortunately they alllllwwways do. Too bad it is a scam and thanks for the info.
Please don't respond. It is a fraud. I received the same one for $50.000 and i have reported it as you should. Remember, you CAN'T WIN if you didn't play, and when you do, YOU must pay the taxes to the government, not the person who sent the letter or called you. I hope you didn't fall for this scam, and i hope they are caught soon.. Be Safe, and God Bless
