I recive a letter from ron jackson dont fall for it.

We received a check like the others. We deposited and waited to see if it would clear. It didn't. So we called the attonery general and sent in a complaint. Everyone that gets a check like this needs to file a complaint with there states attorney general's office, So the goverment can see how many people are receiving these type of scams. The more the better to get the goverment to do sothing done about scams.

We just got a letter today. We called the bank of new york mellon. They said its a scam discard the check. They scanning people with different checks from different banks. Plus different address from Las Vegas. Don't fall for this scam. U will lose everything.

I also just received a check today for almost $4,000 claiming I won $250,000....... I know it's a scam, though everyone be careful. The check looks so real. It even has JPMOrgan Chase bank on the check to make it seem even more legit. It came from Ameriprice direct lottery sweepstakes. A family member had received one around 3 years ago, deposited it in the bank.... used the bank account as usual, and then the next thing you know, all the money in her account was gone and the bank shut her account down and she now can't get a bank account because of the chexx system. It's so scarey that this could happen. How are they aloud to get away with it?? The must make a lot of money off seniors........ the sick and the poor, who think that their luck has changed and just don't know any better, and fall for it. I can see how that can happen and it sickens me. What can we do?

My 81 year old mother got the same letter and a check for nearly $4000 drawn on a JP Morgan account.  She took the check into a local JP Morgan branch to see if this was valid.  The teller could not find any information on the account number on the check.

We got a similar letter and check but from America Direct Financial LLC in Las Vegas. Our check is for $2,920.45, the tax portion being $1,950.00. The check is drawn on a bank in Columbus, OH. The letter has a Canandian postmark.

Warning - Fraud Fraud Fraud!

I just received  a notification letter titled, "Capital Direct Lottery Sweepstakes - Division of Unclaimed Funds".The address is 3800 Las Vegas South Las Vegas, NV 89101 with a phone number (778) 895-8780.

Claims Manager Tina Johnson sent a US check for $2458.45 dollars portions of your winnings provided to help you pay taxes, insurance, handling and shipping fees. It goes on to say that the tax amount is $1,850.00. The check is from Diamond Head All Suite Beach Resort from Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931.

The envelope is stamped HSBC Finanace and like the others reporting fraud the envelope is stampled Canada without a return address.

My mother age 78 received a letter from American Capital Direct Lottery Syndicates, 614 Rossmore DR, Las Vegas, NV 89120. She asked me to look it over. The first problem is she did not enter a lottery. Second you have to wonder when the letter is from Las Vegas, post marked in Canada (no return address) containing a check for $4850.35 drawn on a bank in Portland, OR. The letter stated she had won $250,000 and the check for $4850.35 was to take care of taxes, insurance, handling and shipping.It went on to say that the taxes would be $2980.00. Do you think $2980 is a tad low for taxes on an amount that big? If you have to pay up front it's a scam. Be smart people.

I received a letter from Ameriprice Lottery Syndicates  stating that I won $250,000 along with a check for 4897.99 to pay 2890.00 for taxes, insurance, and shipping and handling. I took it to my bank which told me that this whole thing was a scam cause they want me to send the 2890.00 someplace else..
