I got a letter from Prime Marketing.

It's a scam and your account is going to be debited that amount once the bank catches up with it.  Hope you didn't spend the money!

I also got a check for $996.65.  I called Wachovia bank and they could not validate the check through any of their services.

Guess I'm in the same boat as you guys.  Terrible that they are taking advantage of people when so many are out of work and desperate.  Good thing I called Wachovia, and good thing I looked online.

RECEIVED CHECK IN THE MAIL FOR $996.65 FROM OAKWOOD MARKETING INC. 986 OAKWOOD ST PICKERING ON M7L 7J9 PHONE # 1 905 781 2428 FAX # 1 206 600 4617 SUPPOSE TO CALL A BARBARA ANDERSON TO PAY FOR TAXES ON $8000.

SCAM? Read and you decide.

I got a letter from Barnes Marketing,985 Ridgeway St.,Pickering,ON,M2H,J6P. Ph. 1(905) 782 3835. Fax # 1(206) 600 4617.

The letter stated FINAL NOTICE about Consumer Rewards Program. Lump sum $8,000.00.
A check was enclosed for $986.88 supposedly from CITIZENS BANK of MASSACHUSETTS. It looks real even with water marks. According to the letter I am required to pay taxes per state regulations before Ican recieve the lump sum winnings.

I am instructed to cotact Claims Agent Barbra Thompson at 1-905-783-3835 as soon as I recieve this notice for futher instructions. I will not be calling. Reason being I took a much closer look at the check. The account #,routing#, and ckeck # which are suppose to be on the ckeck in the area just above the bottom line, were not. The numbers were missprinted on the seam between this check and the ones before and after.
I BELIVE I AM CORRECT IN SAYING, SCAM!

I also received a letter saying that they were trying to get a hold of me and that I need to contact Barbara Thompson to claim my reward of $8000, I also got a check for $968.88 for the processing fees and taxes and to deposit in the bank and then when it clears to call them so they can give me instructions how to claim my $8000. Who r these people? If this is all a fraud we need to report it. I saw a fraud documentary in 20/20, someone need to tell authorities so they can investigate? I wonder how do they make money?

GOT A LETTER FROM BARNES MARKETING AND A CHECK FOR 986.88. LETTER STATING TO CONTACT BARBARA THOMSON  AT 905-781-8092 TO CLAIM MY $8000.00 PAYOUT.

what happened Dani

Called Bank the check was drawn on. They said the check would not be honored. Beware.

I got a check today for $985.56.  With letter stating that I should contact Alexa Thompson for more details on an $8000.00 payout.  I'm glad I researched before I just accepted it as a real winning.  I, for the life of me, couldn't remember even entering any lotteries or sweepstakes in the past ten years. Too good to be true fellas. Nobody gives away free money.

also did not receive a phone call but went through the whole pitch over the phone. ended up calling the bank the check came from, they told me it was a fake check and that if i tried to cash it it would be defrauding a bank...
DO NOT CASH THESE CHECKS,IT IS A FEDERAL CHARGE.It will cost u more then they give u in court fines and restitusion.

so has anything happened because i got one of these too. I just want to know if they got u for anything else?

I recieved a letter from PrimeMarketing with a Cashiers check for 985.12 and said the other $7000 would be sent once I called a chritina siemers and the letter was signed by a Lloyd Formerly (Promotions Manager)  Why would they send a Cashiers check directly to me from a Coppermark Bank (Oklahoma -texas bank) because it's basically cash.  So you were able to cash yours?  Has anything else happened?

are you sure this is a scam because htey sent me a chesck for 10,000 and the bank cashed it...........
