My mother received the same letter, same address, same contact name. It came with a "check" for $4900.20 with instructions to call the number to activate the check then someone would hand deliver the remaining $245,099.80 in the form of a check. What got me thinking were numerous misspellings throughout the letter. Glad to know I haven't been completely duped by it all. Sounds like there are a lot of unclaimed quarter million dollar winners out there. Thanks for the info - into the trash it goes
This is a scam phone number from a company called American Grand Price Winners, Division Of Unclaimed Funds, 9032 Rossmore Dr, Las Vegas, NV, 89791. Contact name is Don Martins.
I received a letter asking me to call the above phone number. They sent me a check saying to cash it. I called them. They said to cash the check and then call them back and they would have someone hand carry the remainder of the lottery money to me in person. The contact person was Don Martins.
It's an informational scam...The checks are promotional checks from businesses towards purchases. American Grand Price Winners uses these checks to obtain bank info. If you call the companies where the checks came from, they will let you know that the checks are no good. My mother in law got one with no return address, the company address was in Las Vegas, the check came from a toyota dealership in New York, and it was postmarked from Canada.

My parents received a letter and check the same as Bob F. It is totally a scam. If you did win anything, the US Government and State Government would want their taxes. These people pray on older people that don't think scum bags would do something like this. I would like to hand deliever the Tax money with my friends Mr. Smith & Wesson.
