they wanted for me to send pics of my feet

I recieved the same letter and I am on here reseaching the letter. Thanks for posting..Shame on these people for scamming...I sure could use 10,000.oo right now.. Sorry they got you.....Vivian

Don't feel bad, I fell for the same scam as well!

I recieved a letter saying i was a winner, I won 10,000.00. Compensation bonanza. for all customers of major stores in U.S Canada ,UK. J.C.Penny, Walgreens, Walmart, Sears, HomeDepo, Kohl's Kmart, Maceys, Ciruit City.Best Buy, ect.  To claim your total winnings you must call your claim agent Brain Smith at 1-647-787-4333 ext.201.  Encclosed is a check of US$985.50 deducted from your total winning to assit you in paying the government applicable fees on your winning.   The check was written on Fifth Third Bank 5001 Kingsley Drive Cincinnati, OH 45227. Edn Williams 51 Greenroad London, England  SW129QG is the person i was to wire 900.00 to.  Long story short i owe the bank 900.00.  this sucks  what can be done. i dont have 900.00. Bank says i have to pay it back. Tulsa Okla

Got a letter with a check from Fifth Third Bank.

yeah we got ours today also american national bank its got the security features and even the water mark boy how convincing we were ready to pay off our bills lol if it wasnt so depressing it would be funny.

I got the same letter with almost identical information. When I got online to look into it I not only found this posting but found some other information as well. As far as I can tell, Lana Corporation is a one man operation in California that doesn't specify the type of business it does. L.C.G. Logistics is listed as a business that rents out horse drawn carriages. Also it's phone number is not the one listed in the letter. 646-434-6926 is listed as a phone in New York City. In case no one noticed before, it mentions in my letter that this contest was organized June 26th of 2010' but one of the companies involved was Circuit City. A company that went out of business in 2009.

Got the same letter! wow, lucky we have internet to search around, otherwise we got SCAM.

I got mine today, same thing but my check is from Fifth Third Bank

I got the same thing. Hope someone doesnt fall for it

Yes so is mine....told to contact Brian Smith from Columbus, Ohio..

I got the same thing.

this is from Lana Corporation inc.
c/o LCG Logistics
3150 Valleyview Drive
Columbus OH 43204
with the same number
4254408914
to speak with Brian Smith at extension 201

My check is from PNC Bank, National Association, number 10800

A letter from a Mr. Davis Michel , President , yulassociate@gmail.com , claims that I have won a contest from T.J.X. Companies in the amount of US$110,000.00 .  It includes a check for $3985.50 to cover expenses relating to US Government Bond Fees in the amount of $2,900.00. It asks that I call the above number ( 425-440-8914 ) at extension 204 to talk to a Barbara Brown to discuss the terms of my winnings and to assign a Government Bond Agent to process my winnings and collect fees.

The check claims to be from the T.J.X. Companies located 2285 Glene Str ,  Framingham , MA 01701 and is drawn on the Bank of New York Mellon in Everett , MA 02149 .  The letter is on poorly printed letterhead from the Lana Corporation Inc.  c/o  T.J.X. Companies Inc. 705 Yonge St. Essex , MD  21210 and was postmarked in Canada with a return address of P. O. Box 16550 Richmond Hill, ON L4C 4Z3 ,   LANA Corporation refers to itself as handing "Brokerage Services, Loans, Mortgage Bailout and Refinancing".  No further usable information is available about LANA Corporation.

The letter also refers to a number of other retail companies within the US, many of whom are competitors ( J.C. Penny, Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Kohl's, Kmart, Macy's Circuit City, Best Buy etc) and are not really associated within the T.J.X. Companies holdings.

Further investigation also ties information within this letter to the phone number 16478300383 which is attached to adverts in Munich, Germany for customer service reps, and complaints about a check scam regarding a trips that have been won.  (647)830-0383 is a cell phone registered to the Toronto, Ontario area.  (425)440-8914 appears to be a number based in Bellevue, WA in the US.  It is a land line maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. - Wa with an equipment code of BLLVWASHDS0 .   Similar complaints have been filed against numbers maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. in other locations across the US.

For some reason, both the check, and the letter, have the wrong US Zipcode for my home address.  It also seems that from the information in the address that whatever information was given to this company was originally obtained from Best Buy corporation.  It appears that Best Buy has sold my contact information to someone else.
