Turn it over to your local postmaster, its mail fraud!  Should alert the local news agency's also so they can get the word out in the media as well (if they have a web site, you can contact them via the web sites also). Here our State Attorney General will also put this out on the news so people are aware of the fraud..

I received a letter and check today From COGNOPTIX in Acton Ma. for $3950.00 to pay processing fees for $3600.00 on my 2nd place winnings of $25000.00 from a sweepstakes I never entered from South Africa. I'm supposed to contact Daniel Barkeyz at 1-877 751 4020 and it was sent by Ms Celine Chalker Promotion Manager  and supposedly OLD MUTUAL FINANCIAL is the institution assigned to inform and direct the winners and assist them.  It was drawn on Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara Calif.  I'm contacting the local BBB  and post master

I did not get a phone call but did get the letter from Sure Financial Inc. .... figured it was a scam so looked it up on my computer.   Thank you Thank you,   you saved me at minimum the cost of long distance .... I am not on SSI, but I am a Senoir.  Was planning on taking it to my bank to turn them in.   Will still stop by and do that today.  Thanks for all of you putting your comments of this Scam on the Web.

I have received a check. From HR Capital Retail bank. When I called the number they askrd form my as# I did not give it out. Their # is 1-866-396-8254. Someone needs to stop these scams.

Just today I hear of someone who  received the same letter with a check for $4,685.00.  JPMorgan Chase Bank, Syracuse, NY  Claim Agent Allen Newman @1 604-652-3975.   Check looks valid.  However if you make a black and white copy you will see "void" stamped all over.  Also note that a normal check has the routing number first,  then the checking account and finally the check number printed at the bottom.  These fake does not follow this pattern.  Don't be fooled.  I  think they are after your back account number!

i received a letter this week ,cheque for 4200 and a number too call,my cheque is a royal bank cheque from toronto and a 1877 number too call,all a scam i would say

Received a check today in the mail telling me I won $463.000 Us in the Euro Mega Sweepstakes Inc. The letter included a check for $10,200.00 to help cover "legal paperwork and financial matters" so that my "agent", Mr. Francis Marando could make my winning available. I was instructed to call 778-708-4040 or 778-708-1535 and speak with Mr. Marando who would verify my claim number  #EUM 663-**7. I made that call and was Mr. Marando confirmed my claim then instructed me to DEPOSIT THE CHECK AND SEND $7100.00 dollars to a Ms. Ruth Brown at Calle Padre Damian No 4-6 Planta, 28511 Madrid Spain to cover the 2200.00 process fee, 2300.00 legal fee and 2600.00 insurance, delivery fee and 23% tax. They also wanted my bank information so that once the money was received my balance of  $455,900.00 would be deposited DIRECTLY INTO MY ACCOUNT.

Cashiers Check was signed by Ruth Brown with co owner Judy Olsson, drawn on the First American Credit Union in AZ. I called them and they verified they were a real bank but instructed me to check the numbers on the bottom of this check. If it was not ROUTING NUMBER, ACCOUNT NUMBER and then CHECK NUMBER...it was definately a FRAUD!

BINGO...SCAM!!

Please be careful everyone. At this time of year it is so tempting to think that you won it big...but be smart. Turn these over to the Local Post Master and contact the local police. ITS TIME TO STOP THESE PEOPLE.

I also recieved the same letter and check from Ms Celine Chalker in the amount of $3,455.00 and stating I won $250,000.00 on claim #CAL23345MD - Check was from Gileadn Sciences, INC . Wells Fargo Bank check #507532. will be giving paper work and check to State Police. I may be retired from the Army but I know my brain didnt retire. Know a scam when I see one.

I received a letter today from Ms. Celine Chalker that stated I was the 2nd place winner in an international consumer sweepstakes.  Included with the letter is a check for 3,455.00 supposedly to help pay for the processing of the $250K I won.  I am forwarding this letter and check on to the Strongsville police department.  The company name on the check is Gilead Sciences, Inc.  The check is from Wells Fargo Bank, 115 Hospital Drive, Van Wert, OH, 45891.

This must be making the rounds. It was sent to my 82 year old mother in law who doesn't own a computer. I figured it was a scam from the git go. I'd like to take this person and hand him from the nearest light pole by this thumbs till it snows in Key West, FL.

I just received a letter from SURE FINANCIAL INC., CLAIM #CAL23345MD. Stating I won 2nd prize in some contest.  Check written on  Account from Tudor Guild  15 S Pioneer St  Ashland, OR  was with Wells Fargo Bank Oregon, N.A.  67 E Main St  Ashland, OR 97520.  Amount of ck 3,455.00 .   to cover processing fee of 3,100.00  that would allow me to collect  "real" prize  TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.  Must contact agent  David Akuwadik   1-747-200-9366 before cashing the  check.  Obviously a large scam that is destined to ruin someone.   I hope this additional information will help someone from falling into the prey's hands.

I am retired & living on a fixed income.  My check for $4,685.00 was on Wells Fargo Bank N. A., processing fee $3,940.00.  Name David Morgan.  Phone #1-788-991-1391.  It told me I won $250,000.  I imedialey checked the internet.  I may be old, but I am not stupid.

i recieved a letter in the mail containing a check from Sure Financial Incorporated claiming i won 250,000,000.00 from a claims agent named David Morgan .with a processing fee of $4,150.00. im going to investigate this check.

I've received the same thing as all you guys did. Anyway, this is too good to be true. I'm glad I did my research on this because if I recall, I definately did no enter in any contest or whatsoever. Now, I will go to the bank and inform the bank about this. =)

most likely the cheque they send you will bounce and they will cash yours and keep it.  Just wait and see if their cheque clears.

I RECEIVED A CHECK FOR $3,650 FROM SABILITY INC KEVIN GOODMAN & ANITA HARRIS CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME TO DEPOSITE THE CHECK & I DID & HE WANTED ME TO SEND $1,950 FOR TAX LOAN MARY HALL, WHICH I DIDNT!!!!  I HAD A FEELING THAT IT WAS A SCAM, THATS WHY I WENT ONLINE AFTERWARDS & GOOGLED HIS NAME & THE # !!!! WISH I NEVER DEPOSITED THE CHECK!!!! IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!!

I received a letter with a check for $3,650 with a "non British resident" tax amount of $1,650, from Aflac (even has the duck). The letter states that the remaining balance will be sent via Fed Ex or UPS. I am advised to contact my claims representatives Mr. Kevin Goodman or Anita Harris at 1-855-746-6987. I am also instructed to not act until I speak to my Claims Representative. Signed Mr. Tommie Selvie, CEO. Tax Officer Mary Hall 17 Sandy Hill Road, London UK.

Bottom line: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Got letter and check. Check from Oliver sprinkler co. Inc. For 4850. Claims agent is Davis Scott at 778-709-0019. Processing fee is 3800. Creep scammers. Taking this to police.

I have the same latter and check for 4.850.00 I didn't know and I deposist in my cheching accout, I don't know yah wath happen, I deposist two days ago. Now erery body toll me is scam. I dont know wath to do, any body can say samthinf please

Aw that sucks. I got one too. How are they getting everyone's information?

My 90 year old Mother received the $4,850.00 check from Oliver Sprinkler Company in which promised her a $450K check.  Boy was she excited. They should all be ashamed of themselves. I hope the David Morgan's and Lisa Walker's of this scam get theirs.

omg i recieved a check for 2500.00 stating i won from a European and North America Consumer, for 50,000.00 i knew it was to good to be true. It was from Sability Inc. I had to speak with Mr. John Elvis or Mr. James Oscar. I called the police and they took the check and letter to investigate it further.

They are targeting everyone, they sent my daughter a check for 2,500.00 from Sability Inc. I call Wells Fargo Bank they told me It's a SCAM and these people are from Europe, they say they are from big name companies. They are using the names John Elvis, James Oscar and Mrs. Jean Garfield - the phone 1-877-661-1856 changes over to international phone call and they say let me call you back so I can check that Ref. number. You win $50,000.00, But you have to pay taxes of $1900.00

I just received a letter like you....my check name was Oliver Sprinkler Co., Inc. King of Prussia, PA  drawn on the Wachovia Bank, N.A.   The promotion Manager was Lisa Walker...

Strange thing was when I made a copy of the check, it showed VOID where the accont name, amount, and my name...

I got a check for 4,850.00 and I'm glad that I looked up sure financial incorporated and found out that the money was no good. always make sure that the check you get is legall.

Do it JC, I got the exact same letter and check, but as posted earlier I don't think the expected my ex-wife of being a legal secretary and a third of my friends are lawyers. so.... but I left a message and am plastering this david morgan's name all over the internet so good one.

Either that and/or people on SSI

I just called the Wachovia Bank, N.A. and they told me that there is no 'Oliver Sprinkler Co., Inc. as an account and I gave them all the info on David Morgan. and this Lisa Walker. Both are going to get so much bad publicity as well as Olivers Sprinkler Sytems and I hope to hear that these reptilians land in jail.  I'm plastering there scam everywhere I can. The were'nt expecting my wife of being a legal secretary. and one 3rd of my friends are Lawyers.
