Trust nets corporated it's about time somebody took you people down all the people you hurt this time somebody hurt you even if you put my a** in jail it's time you get put to rest and stoped. Scammoning. A ripping off .The working men and women of. this Beautiful country  I pray to heaven above you think this is a BLUFF. There is two things  we don't do California and Texas that's a lie and b*******  .     We're coming dow
.for all y'all and Mr  weather and Mr Williamson good  good luck boys..............
                                                                                                                                        MR. SANCHO.&  MR. A** kicker

Uh,

You cash the check then a few weeks later, it bounces.

Your checking account gets debited the amount!

Has anyone actually identified any scam here? Seems everyone likes to write SCAM in caps, but what's the hook? I'd assume that if you cash it they obtain your banking info and wreck havoc that way. Probably contact you for further data points, to add to name, address, bank.  

I just had a loss in my family and then rec.'d a letter in the mail from trustnet made out to my grandfather (one who passed away.) the letter stated that he was one of the winners in the North America Consumer Promotion Draw organized for all customers of WalMart, Sears, Home Depot, Safeway, etc. It stated that he was entitled to $8221.50 and send a check for $822.15 but I had to send back $500 to cover the state tax. Reviewing the others, they have changed it up. Claims agent is now named Ryan Oxford at 18002750742 and they have also changed the Vice President Finance which now is C. Witherspoon. Everyone please be aware of this!!!! I have been scammed before and it takes a toll on an individual financially if its to late.

I just received a letter from Trustnet with a check in the amount of $985.18 to pay for taxes due on my winning of $9,851.80!   The same as I have read in the previous 10-12 letters!   How is this happening without these people having the possibility of determining that this could be a fraud!   I called and they told me everything was PERFECT.   After checking, I now realize that this is definitely a scam.  I do not understand how they can use the company names of Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Safeway, etc. to promote their scam?   Something must be done to protect those who are being involved in this serious problem.

The company name is Trustnet a Financial Express Company.

I just recieved the same letter,saying I had won but I have been scamed before so now I check everything on the internet. Thank God I cant believe that these people are doing this to so many people.I have reported them to the Federal Trade Comm,and to the BBB. We should all do the same.STOP THEM!!!

Thank you for this info. Just got the same letter and check. Contact in letter was Carl Fuller at 1-905-781-8853. Check was from HAWAII STATE Federal Credit Union. .Becareful everyone

Thanks for putting this out there... I just received the same letter along with the check...which is now in the trash

Thank you for this info. I also received this fraudulent letter. I am grateful that you confirmed my feeling that this is a disgusting scam. How is it possible that these people are still free to do this? HOW COULD WE STOP THEM??

Best wishes!
Joy

I got the same letter with a $ 985.18 check, a Carl Fuller told me to cash my check and call him after cashing it,glad i google their name and adress SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same letter...but it was to speak to David Cole at 289-892-2666....I called just to see what it was all about, and he was REALLY quick to tell me deposit the check in your bank, and then call me back as soon as you do...I had a REAL gut feeling it was B.S., but then I googled the company and found several different sites with the same scam info on it...Thank everyone for putting this out there...they are feeding off people when they know SO many people are in great need.

I received the same letter with a cashiers check in the amount of 985.18 with the same information  of a $900.00 tax....out of curiosity I call the number...I know it wasn't real but I wanted some information.  When I called the number a woman answered and I questioned her and said if I won why don't you send me my winnings and deduct the tax from that...and I called her a couple af manes ...she got so anoyed and hung the phone up.  As of that point I wanted to reached through the phone and grab her.  I told her I would report the matter and it seems that they are untouchable because she told I can go to the FBI and they cannot do anything about it.  It is sad that no one can do anythig about this.  Same as you I am so mad I hope someone does something about this matter.  What will happen if someone tries to deposit the check?
ps
Please some do something about this.

Received the same letter in the mail with a cashiers check of 985.18 with the same information about the $900.00 tax money and the $9,851.18 that I was going to receive  for Winning the North America Consumer Promotion Draw organized for all customers of Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Safeway, etc.  I really hope someone puts an end to these people and sues their butt off! This is WRONG!!!! And totally Pisses me off!!!

my husband also recieved a check from financial express and was told he won nine thousand eight hundresd fifty eight dollar and eight cents and a check for 900.00 to deposit and call and send the tax money in yes a scam did not act on it i am glad we read this web site the goverment should act on this scam and stop it immediately

I also received a check from PNC Bank for the amount of $985.18, and a letter from TRUSTNET asking to send a check back for the amount of $900.00 to  pay the taxes, and I would receive a check for $9,851.80. I knew when I opened the evenlope and saw the check, it was a SCAM.  I have been in the security business for over 40 years, and I notified the authorities. Additionaly I received numerous phone calls from Mexico, and when I would answer they would hang up.  I no longer answer calls from Mexico, or any number I don't recongize.

We have to always be on our guard, and that is really sad.

I thank both of y'all for y'all warning. I just got the same letter and check from these people. Someone should put them away.
