Than what happened after you cashed the check.

now that you have cashed the check at a check cashing outlet what will happen when the check is returned are you liable to the check cashing outlet

I was one of so many that got fool by this scam. Throw it away and forget it!

Recieved same letter, have not cashed check. Have not called, figured it was a scam, and this confirms it. I have never been a lucky person, so really is no surprise.Sorry to here about so many getting fooled by this scam. Always check online to look for scams when you recieve something like what we are experiencing.There is no low when it comes to people like this.

I received the same amount and I took it to a check cashing store and they said that the check was good so I cash it

ive rec. the same check for 985.50 and i called the bank to be sure funds were there and to my surprise they are um how can they close your acc. ?

I got the same letter saying i had won 10,000 and they sent me a check for $985.50!! I was soo excited, i thought u know it was a blessing too!! But no of course not it was a scam! Sumone needs to get these people! U cant be getting peoples hopes up like that, and its just a bunch of crap! I was so devastated when i realized the check wasnt real! :(

Contact your bank right away.  Tell them its a scam.  Maybe you'll get lucky and they won't charge you for depositing a bad check.

The way the scam works, when you call Barbara Brown she will tell you that you have to pay income tax on the check, and that money has to be wired to her right away.  Wired money goes through instantly.  The paper check will bounce, but that may take a couple of weeks.  The bank will take the whole check plus a bounced check fee out of your account.  

Barbara Brown will keep the tax money you sent.  You will not be able to find her after the check bounces.

I had the check deposited into my account and have not checked with my bank yet, but the check looks so real and the bank took it with no problem. I had call Barbara Brown at the same #, and she said to call her back once I had cashed or deposited the check. What are they thinking they will get out of this, I'm a broke full-time student with less then $10 in my account. I thought that I might have been getting a blessing, it just sounded to good to be true.......

I received a letter claiming I won 10,000 dollars from Armstrong Associates.

I recieved the same letter, deposited check into bank last night but saw this site and called bank to stop the check from being deposited into account, this is the only site that I have found on hear about this scam.  Has anyone else seen anything else online about this scam?  My bank assured me however that my account would not have closed nor would money be taken from my account, they told me that the worst that would have happened would have been a return check fee o my account if the check did not go through, but I went ahead and stopped the check from cashing anyway.

I received the same check for the same amount but I didn't cash it. I did however contact Barbara Brown and she said the same as the other people reported. I too didn't know this was a scam.  My son was a business major in college and he told me this is a scam. Needless to say I will be shreading the check and the letter.

i recived same deposit it to day .why was your bank account closed im scared what should i do

I received the same check as everyone else $985.50...from Mr. Davis Michael, and to call Barbara Brown Brown @ 647-705-5881 ext...204. Being a skeptic, I usually throw these things in the trash, but this check looks so real and there was no fine print on the back of the check or in the body of the letter, so I thought I would investigate on-line...and just as I suspected it is a SCAM...isn't this illegal? I am going to report it the BBB...little good that will do, but at least I will feel better.

i was sent a 900.oo check with michael davis the president and i should contact barbra brown the check does look real another scam

Hello, I received the same letter and a check for $985.50.  It appeared to be real.... I have entered many sweepstakes and so the letter did not come as a surprise to me.  In fact, I thought I had finally won!!! I deposited the check and wanted to wait to make sure it cleared before doing anything.  My bank account within 5 days was closed.  What can I do to take action on this SCAM??? I am furious.

Thanks!

I got a letter claiming I won 10,000 dollars from Armstrong Associates with an enclosed check for nine hundred and eighty five dollars and fifty cents. Thye list themselves as a Brokerage services, loans, mortgage bailout and refinancing co. The check is supposedly to assist in paying a goverment bond to help claim the rest of my winnings. I noticed similar complaints about this same type of scam on your page when I did an internet search for key words in the letter.I am wondering how other people found out this was actually a scam as the check itself appears real and is drawn from a real bank? The letter lists a Mr. Davis Michael as president with as e-mai; address of yulassociate@gmail.com which is the same e-mail other people have reported
