Received letter saying I'm entitled to $180,000 US Dollars... Enclosed was check for $4,250, of which $2,750 was to be returned to pay taxes before sending the remainder. Was to call Ken @ 905-616-2889. Scam from Tri-Star Inc in Hamilton, Ontario. 253-270-6871 is the fax number listed along with 888-730-2165.

got a letter with a check for 4700.00 us dollars
all i have to do is call Denis at 1 289 893 0250
and pay 2050.00 processing fee

letter is from "U.N.The Global compact"
recession relief package.....

Whos relief is my question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if it sounds too good to be true....IT IS!!!!

I received a letter claiming I won an $180,000 prize. Like all the other people I was instructed to call Willy @ 1-905-616-2889. Like all the other people I was given an address from Canada. The name at the end of the letter was KYLE REUBEN. I was also given a claim number. I am very skeptical about all of this. Is this a scam? I'm pretty sure it is, and I am also skeptical about the FDIC email. I looked throughout the website and can find nothing on the alerts@fdic.gov email....

If anyone can please post a reply from them that would be great...

We must stop fraud like this from happening...

I received a letter in the mail from Mass Mutual Financial with a Canadian address which included a check for $4700 just like the rest of you.  This is a flag for fraud.  I searched for proof of the company and nothing turned up.  I searched through the phone number listed on the letter and got to this page.  
FRAUD!

Contact the FDIC at alerts@fdic.gov.
They will be more then happy to check into that fraud for you.
I received one as well

I also received a letter and check for $4250, saying $2750 of it was to be used to pay taxes.  I am being told to call Willy @ 416 887 4162.  UIt was written on a Broward Motorsports of Palm Beach, LLC check.  I am emailing them and the bank now & will post their response...  I also ran a reverse phone number search, both residential and business, and not suprisingly, that number cannot be found

Was it legit or a scam? Please let me know. Thank you!
