Got a letter. I called them but mail box was full.

I got the same letter to call the same person at that number and in the same amount, i am glad i checked this out before attempting to cash it. Thanks for the info.

I received a letter as others have. Tried to call the # and got the mailbox full message. So, I went to search engine, called the bank and on the automated answering service it had to check about funds in an account. I gave the acct. # and they said it was an invalid acct. I also noticed the Pikeville address, Weddington location's address was incorrect. Check says weddington branch rd. The office is on North Mayo Trail.

I recieved a letter in the mail with a check for $2,980,
The letter said to call 450-369-0290 to verify my reference and batch numbers.  I called the number and the answering machine picked up and all it said was that the mail box was full and no other messages could be left.  After reading your responses to this, I am apprehensive about following through with this.  Like someone said above:  nothing is for free....I was sad to find out this is a scam, it sure would have been fun if I could have really recieved the $$$$$....I had a feeling it was too good to be true.  Thanks for the info.

I received the same letter and I called mr. mike chetan amd the minute I mentioned the letter he said to just deposit the check for  $2980.10 and that's all he would say nothing more cuz he was in meetings all day. SCAM ALL THE WAY

I received one yesterday just like this- Its totally a scam- the bank its written on is real but has no account number that is valid for Primera Trust Service.-- seriously people you have to work to get anything-- nothing is for free!! Also- read the name-- that should tell us something

I receivied the very same letter, I went to my bank and asked them to look over the letter and check, they reported that this was a scam trying to steal my identity, so please even though it is tempting do not deposit the check, think about it, even if the check clears they will have your Bank name, account number, signature, if thats not enough to stop you from depositing the check I dont know what is.

one of my employees received the same letter and asked me what I thought,  I told her it's a ripoff.  I know there is a common fraud like this where they send you a check and ask you to deposit it.  Then when you,ve done that, they tell you to send them a check (often for the same amount of money) and they wil then send you the rest of your "prize."  The fact that they are opperating out of Canada but use a bank in Mississippi seems a bit strange to me.  Stay away is my advice.

My wife got the same letter.  I called Mike Chetan, but he wouldnt speak to me.  I asked  him to explain how this was NOT a scam, and he just said he couldnt talk to me about it.   It's an OBVIOUS scam.

Received a check in the mail for $2980.10 adminstration fee for a prize clain for $45,000.

Called the said number and a MIke answered the phone with out any company name.  He stated to deposit the check and call back when it cleared.  I asked him the name of the company and what the process was and he stated"can't you hear, I just stated to deposit the check and call back when it clears".  

This tells me that it is a scam trying to steal your identity.  The phone number does come up in a cross reference, and neither does the company.
