Today I got the same letter and the check. When i called the number, the person told me first deposit the check and call me back. I didn't deposited the check but I called him and said that I deposited the check.
He told me ok I activated the check , in a week you will get the remaining amount, Call me tomorrow same time , I will tell you what is the next step.
I will call him tomorrow let me see what he is going to tell me.
**LOTTERY SCAM** I received a letter with a bogus check for $4,900.00. Letter is stating you won the lottery and at the same time they're asking you to send them some money. What a bunch of idiots! I told those [***], take out whatever processing fee's are necessary then send me the rest of whatever money I supposedly won, I'm not sending you [***]! ...and make it snappy [***]!
I got the same letter and check. The letter said it was from "Coastal Products Inc." and was the first check to cover expenses for legal fees. It also said after I send them $2800+ they will process the rest of my $99,000.00 winnings.
A complainant came to me with this lottery scam. The check from JP Morgan Chase Bank on Cadbury Adams Usa is definately fraudulent. When contacting the number I was hung up on after identifying myself as law enforcement. They hung up again when I tried to call back. Do not fall subject to this fraud.
Thank you so much for your post. My mother recieved the same check and letter. The check looked so real to her she was just dying to cash it, as she is a lady of little means. I told her to hold on and let me do some background checks on it's sender. Thank goodness for people like you taking time out to write this up. Otherwise my mother would have been ruined.
I got the same letter saying it was from "MXI Financial Corp" with a check enclosed for $4866. The letter said I had won a contest for $99,000, and that I just have to pay some legal fees with the check enclosed via money gram. Good thing I googled the number they gave me which lead me to this page. IT IS A SCAM!
