.my check is for $822.15 and is drawn on First Niagara Bank.  It came because I am a winner in NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PRO MOTION DRAW. Sure I am.  What a scam.  I hope no one falls for this.  I got a letter and was told to call 647 633 2767  or 866 817 7684.

The above was a letter, not a call, this just happened to come up when I googled both phone #s on letter.  They are 1-416-887-4415 and Intl 011447031881017.  The letter says it's from Prize and Award Presentation LondonGreen Investment Group  15 Broad Street Oxford UK OX13AS

Wow!  I just received a check for same amount of $3,980 dated 11/29/11 saying the check is from Orient Overseas Container, Line Limited c/o OOCL (USA) Inc. General Agent w/address of 2633 Camino Ramon in San Ramon, CA 94583.  Water marked check from HSBC BANK USA In Buffalo, NY along with the letter from guess who?!  Michael Quest!!!!  He urges me to not attempt to use this check until I call and urges me to keep my winnings CONFIDENTIAL until claim has been processed and cash remitted as part of their security protocol to avoid double claiming or unscrupulous acts by non participants taking advantage of this program!!!!!! lol  WOW!  This guy's good!

So, we've recieved a letter in the mail with no return address. We open the envelope and see a letter and a check for $3,980 from a "MANNCORP INC." it claims that we have won $150,000 from our named being randomly selected by shopping at walmart or Home Depot within the last year. We called the number 1-416-887-4415 and a man named "Micheal Quest" answers the phone, he has an Indian/Jamacian accent. He put us on hold after we gave him our number...you can't find any information about anyone buy using their cell number, right?...anyways, on the letter it says it's from a "Prize and Award Presentation LondonGreen Investment Group"

we are so lucky to have looked this up and find the other posts. us hard working citizens have to stick together.

called but left no message

Thanks for the  information i received the same letter stated i won 3,980.00 and Ronda Scott(promotion Manager). I thank GOD for all of the tech. it helpe hard working people to seek out what is good and bad.  Like the old saying ( WHAT'S LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, NINE TIME OUT OF TEN IT IS)

BE BLESSED

I received the check today also, but from first Niagara Bank in Lockport, NY.  He must have the money stashed in several accounts.  I'm not about to call them.

Thank you thank you for all your postings!!!!! I too got my letter and $3980.00, I called Michael Quest at 1-289-894-0050, when I told him that I could not understand and wouldn't give him my phone number he hung up on me as well... I took it one step more and call Bank of America where the check was written from, but they didn't seem to care that this company-fraud place was using their name, oh well I tried.
I hope and pray that they can't do anything with my cell phone number, that's what I used to call with.
What a SUCKER I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same letter, Rhonda Scott (PM) Thornhill Securities, drawn on Westbury Bank.

I just got my letter and check for $3980.00.  Thanks for posting this scam, but many people will fall for it and get ripped off.

I also received the same letter! Rhonda Scott( promotion manager).

Yes I also received a letter today with a check for $3980.00!  Blank envelope with canadian postage stamp, no return address with same phone number 647-834-2190. The letter said 'price claim/final notification' and 'Thornhill Securities, Inc.'    The check says VyStar Credit Union.  I suspected fraud right away and proceeded to google it.  Thornhill Securities seemed to pull up some legit looking stuff but then I entered
"Thornhill Securities prize claim" and Voila!  I pulled up all you guys!  Thanks to all for posting this scam!  I hope they are soon caught also!

Also received a letter today, from Michael Quest, with a check for $3,980.00.  Blank envelope with a canadian postage stamp, no return address.  Phone number 1-647-834-2190.  Thanks, everyone, for posting.  It is hard not to wonder about these things, but good to find out your suspicions were valid.

I got the same check , same conacts. Glad I found these warnings!! Has anyone found out how and to whom to report it? Needless to say I am shreding this piece of garbage! Thank you everybody!!

WHAT A  100 % J*** OFF!
DEPOSIT THE CHECK AND CALL US BACK WITH YOUR BANK NAME AND ACCOUNT NUMBER.
Its even on a watermarked check. This guy needs to be hunted down. He said in a phone conversation we are located in Toronto and we are handling the winnings for Walmart and Home Depo contest.his reply was IT IS A CONTEST YOU ENTERED TWO YEARS AGO AND YOU WON.OUR JOB HERE IS TO FIND AND NOTIFY YOU TO CLAIM YOU 250K. DOT HEAD TURBAN T**** HEAD IDOIT.
I go to Toronto quite often.He needs to be wiped out before he wipes out others. Then I will collect my winnings my way.

I received this letter today 02-09-11 for $3980.00 prize winning notification, they asked me to deposit the check and then to call them and they would send me my prize winnings.  This is a TOTAL SCAM and I hope these jerks get caught and arrested, don't fall for it.

-ot the same letter. how do we go about reporting this. this s*** is crazy. mines was from doubletree -ecurities inc. 1-905-781-7930 and intern 01144703188107 in the amount of 3980.00

I received this letter also. Same everything. Canadian stamp, Westburybank, Doubletree Securities Inc, Michael Quest... I have seen cashier's checks and this one looked FAKE. I checked the internet and found out that the "20 declared winners" has turned into HUNDREDS of potential victims. Glad this information is available. Hope someone gets arrested for this fraud.

I received the same letter today in the mail and got the same story about depositing it and calling right back. check is issued through westbury bank which is in wisconsin. but same contact and agent as well michael quest  and prmo manage rhonda scott  what a joke.

I would like to thank everyone as well. I am glad I listened to that small voice in my head that rang out this is not right,  I hope they get caught soon. I am also taking my letter to the police.

I would like to Thank you all for posting about this, as my husband just received this same exact letter that each of you got and the Cashiers Check for $3,980.00 with Back America on it. I knew as soon we I saw it something was up, as it is very true that if it is too good o be true then it usualy is. I know we could use that money, but I am not able to loose my idenity for to these fools. Again Thank you all so much!

I hope they get caught.  I hate even being on these fool's "sucker list."

I also received a check and letter. After doing a web search and reading all of the other responses, I notified the NY State Attorney General's Office and US Postal service.  This had scam written all over it.  Taxes on a $250,000.00 winning would be more in the realm of $85,000.00.  I hope people do some research before falling for this.  A quick way to have your identity and bank information stolen.

could they hack into anything from a house phone or just from a caller id ?

Guy,  I just received this same letter from Rhonda Scott two days ago, dated January 15, 2011.  Some very strange things were very clearly wrong...  $1.00 Canadian stamp - uncanceled.  No return address was written on the envelope.  The check is supposedly drawn on an HEW Federal Credit Union account in Alexandria, VA but the telephone number to call is in Toronto, Canada.  The letter asks me to tell no one of my winnings until after I speak with the agent (you guessed it), Michael Quest.  Thank God I did nothing with the check because, over the years, I have seen similar "phishing" attempts like this one.  I just want to know who to contact to catch these scammers before many more people are possibly duped and robbed.

NOW THIER CALLING SAYING THEY HAVE YOUR CHECK AND THEY WILL DELIVER IT TO YOU PERSONALLY HOW CAN THEY DO THIS BUT CAN'T TELL ME WHAT KIND OF CHECK IT IS UNTIL I TALK TO A MR. FORD FOR PERSONAL QUESTION HEY MR. FORD YOU KNOW MY ADDRESS YOU AND THE WOMAN BARBARA COME WITH YOUR  ID.AND I'LL HAVE MINE FAIR ENOUGH YOU WANT OUR INFORMATION I WANT YOURS BUT NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE UNTIL I SEE THE WHITE OF THIER EYES........TEXAS

I too recieved a letter 1/18/2011 in the amount of $3980.00 glad I decided to check out this company....A FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people only want access to your bank account information. Do not fall for this SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doubletree Securities!!!!!!!!! Get a real job!

Received same letter from Doubletree Securities with "check" for 1580 from Comerica Bank.  Claim agent:  Chris Nelson.  Tele:  1-647-686-0130.  In same week received phone call from "Gold Rush International" and call from  number 702-347-7992.  Will ask credit union to whom I should report these scams.

got the same letter as everyone else went to bankofamerica they told me it was a scam thank you bank of america for saving me really hope these not so humans get caught ill be reporting this

WOW these guys are unbelievable... my story is just like everyone else... I did call but from my office phone not my home or cell, no way I wanted these guys to have any of my numbers... they instructed me to deposit the check then call back for further instructions.  I asked this so called "Michael Quest" whom I could barely understand what company he worked for and his response was it is in the letter... when I told him it was not he said to read the entire letter again and he hung up on me...
