I am so mad about this whole situation I thought for once something great was happening to me. Well when I realized it was a scam I did some research and found a name that might be the person behind this. It was Toni Lestina and she has like 5 addresses in Iowa. If anyone knows anyway we can do something to stop this or put her in jail or something let me know I would love to see her in trouble for hurting everybody and giving false hopes to those who have none as it is.

I just recieved the same letter and check.  People are so hatefull.  I wish that someone could do something about this.

Yes my husband and I play pogo games everyday. We are members also.
Does anyone think this scam is connected to pogo.

what happens if u cash it in??

I received a check from "Etch Financials" for $4,625.57 as the "lucky" (or should we say unlucky) winner of unclaimed "price" (they can't spell either) money in the amount of $100,000.  My name was randomly selected through a computerized ballot as a winner of the fourth quarter 2008 sweepstake draw.  I am supposed to contact Susan Robinson/Sean Peter at 647-878-3719 for authorization and activation of the check.  I deposited the check...in the shredder!  What a scam!!

This is what I found when I Googled the company's name and information
Paracor Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd.
704, 7th Floor, Dev Plaza,
68, S.V. Road, Andheri (West) ,
Mumbai - 400 058

if i were you guys, i would contact the RCMP Commcial Crime division

I just looked this number up on reverse search on Whitepages.com and it is a cell phone in Toronto Canada....  On my envelope from this company the postage is from Toronto as well....  This is DEFINITELY a scam!!!!

well i got the same thing in the mail and im only 18! how low can they go to try and steal all of my hard earned money. im lucky i looked it up too. its sad that ppl have to do this and i hope they get caught! they couldnt even spell my name right which kinda gave it away!

let me know what happens bc i did the same god damn thing

I received a letter dated November 14th 2008 stating I'm a lucky winner of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. It said how my name was selected through a computerized ballot drawn from Readers Digest, Publishers Clearing House, Online Sweepstakes, Internet games etc... so they got my name from me using the internet i guess.. Inside i got a check for 4,577.93 dollars and it gave me the number to reach Diana Wilson/Sean Peterson and a claim number and that I couldn't claim it until November 29th and the claim number is US/CA.ZDS17-00G. We went to the bank the lady said that she could cash it but I decided not to cash it until i called i got it on Friday and i called Monday and it rang no one answered it sound like a prank because its someone making a weird voice and den it says leave a message I left a message then called back and it then it said the mailbox was full so i guess a lot of people got these check. On the letter it was stamped from Canada and on the letter it says PO box Portland, Maine 04321. The claim specialist is Juan .O. Wane and when I googled his name it brought me to this site. I had a feeling it was too good to be true yea it's a scam

yea I got one of these also... except it came from LBG Financials (Lighting By Gregory LLC) for some reason, which seems to be a legit company... however the letter also mentions the same information about US/CA/ZDS15-00G and Susan Robinson/Sean Peter. The check was 4755 just like the others... really authentic looking.

i thought the same thing unfortunately i put it thru the bank on the weekend and they told me as well they needed it to pay the 3.8 percent and i almost did thank god i did not have my id cause i had misplaced it but anyways when monday came the bank called me and said it was a fake and did freeze my account i was so scared because my husband would be very upset and i was going to surprise him with the good news what a terrible joke my heart fell thru the floor when they told me this.i called these people and sean peter/susan richardson sean said to give the number to the bank and i said i would not give out any account numbers so he said he was going to call head of the sweepstakes to clearit up i still am in so much shock because then i had my husband call and he said he recieved something similar and they went along with it and so after that call he stopped him and called him a fraud and could you believe sean had the nerves to call him a fool. goodness what has the world come to my hopes and dreams are shattered and it is very devastating why us .i do not believe we did anything wrong to deserve this . i just hope that they find these people and make them pay back every penny they have taken from all the people.they are going to hell. remember justice will get served hopefully .

FYI to everyone!!! This is a SCAM!!!! I have gone thru all the necessary routes (Better Business Bureau, Banks, Whitepages.com, etc.) & did extensive research on this "Paracor Financials, Inc." & every person that I have talked to has told me that this is not legit. A guy (Sean Peter) & his girlfriend/fiance (Susane Robinson) are trying to steal identities. They've been doing this for a long time & are based out of Canada. They move frequently which is why no one has been able to stop them as of yet. Do not call or cash the check! It is a FRAUD!!!! Be safe & take care.

The other day i received a letter from Paracor Financial saying i had won 100K and they sent me a very convincing check for $4,755. I was very excited because i thought for once something good was happening. I did a litte researching just incase it was a scam...i called the bank in Cali and the Paracor Medical, INC that is listed on the check and they both said it was a scam. Thank the Lord i didnt go and cash it and deposit it! I called the number that they gave me in the letter (1-647-878-3719) and it goes straight to voicemail and says the mailbox is full. If reported to the local police, will they be able to do anything about this? Its crazy!!! And nowadays when times are hard anyways...i cant believe people would go this far. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!

***PLEASE-O-PLEASE*** DO NOT FALL FOR THIS****
I received the same letter BUT FROM A DIFFERENT number 1-647-836-8675. Same agent Sean Peter/ Susan Robinson. SAME CLAIM # US/CA/ZDS16-00G and needs to be claimed by Nov. 25th. I actually thought it was real and went the lengths of calling the number as well. They told me to deposit the check in my account and to call back once that is done so they can direct me on how to go about on paying the 3.8% government taxes. BUT it was a good thing I had called my banker about this and right off she stated that it was a fraud and to turn it in to her so she can send it to her fraud departmeent. YES, it looks real but I pray and hope no one falls for this. I almost did but I did my homework and I am SO glad I did. I just wish I had found out earlier before anyones account got frozen. That is what my banker had told me would happen. Yes, they would let you cash the check and the funds BUT they can take the funds back out and you would be responsible for the amount you spent at that point. The check would come up as an NSF and you would be responsible to pay what you spent including the bank fees!!!!!! DO NOT FALL FOR IT PLEASE!!!!

THEYRE DEVILS TO SCEAM ON SOMEBODY ON THE HOLIDAY SEASON I HOPE U BURN IN HELL

i recieved a letter with the same info. and recieved a check for 4755.00 went to the bank deposited it and low and behold the bank told me the check was a scam and froze my account. i called mr sean peterson and was told by him it would clear up in a few days. and to give the number to my bank office i did now i don't know what to say to my husband this is really a bad joke and true indeed hurt me so bad.this is crazy i want to cry.

Two days ago I have received the same check with same verification number.Is there  any way that,the local official can be involved to stop those stupids scam people.

i got the same letter will all the same info did any body play the games from pogo within 30 days???????

I also received a message in the mail from Paracor financials stamped from Canada yet addressed with a very convincing check from California asking me to reclaim my $4,755.00.  I of course thought it was a scam and found this link online when researching. I think when you try to call Susan Robinson or Sean Peter they will get your information when trying to verify your identity and steal your identity that way.

I CALLED TO VERIFY THE LETTER AND THE LADY SUSAN ROBINSON WHO WAS ON THE LETTER ANSWERED AND TOLD ME TO READ MY CLAIM # WHICH I DID THAT AND SHE SAID TO GO AND CASH THE CHECK AND FED EX WILL SEND ANOTHER IN MAIL FOR NINE THOUSAND BUT I NEED THREE FORMS OF ID!!GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY!!!

I ALSO RECIEVED A CHECK THINKING IT WAS REAL WITH THE SAME #'S I WAS AND STILL IS HURT FROM THIS MATTER BECAUSE,THAT WAS SOME DEVILIST STUFF THEY PULLED ON THE ONE'S WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD BE DEBT FREE,ABLE TO GET WHAT THEY NEED AND ETC.I JUST KNEW I COULD BE A BLESSING TO MY CHURCH!!WELL I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO GOD BECAUSE HE KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT AND TO EVERYONE WHO RECIEVED THAT PHONY CHECK DON'T BE DISCOURAGE BECAUSE GOD IS GOING TO WORK IT OUT ANYWAY AND TIS IS NO SCAM!!!!THANKYOU!

my daughter got the same letter and check,we went to the check casher to try to cash it.he told me it was a scam,he held on to the check,i went back to get it,at first he didn't want to give it back,but he did.i was skeptical when the lady on the phone told me to put the tax check in my daughters account,that's when the red flag went up BIG TIME SCAM!!!!!BE CAREFULL!!!!
