Got the letter and a check. Called number and got Vivian's husband and was told to take the check tot he bank and call back. Took to bank and depostited it and called back, got vivan's supervisor and was told to go to a Western Union and send money for insurance. I told them I could not send money ntil thier check cleared in 10 days or less and was told should clear in 1 day and to call back when I verified had cleared. Bank told me if check bounced I would be out that money from my account and any I sent to these people. Checked with local police who had me google this site. Thanks to the bank, police and google I did not loose any money.
I live in Michigan. We received the Reader's Digest letter in the mail on 5/27. Our contact person is Vivian Gomez. The signature and name did not match. We contacted Reader's Digest to verify its legitimacy. Obviously, it is not.
I got the exact same letter! Ha! I didn't notice the signature and name did not match.. what's the point of this? What do they hope to accomplish? So annoying...
