I just received a check today for $3,885.00. I knew it was a scam when it told me to keep this winning
CONFIDENTAL. The claim agents name is Tom George and the check is from Dailey Resources Ltd in Dunmore,PA 18510. I'm glad that I watch enough news to know that when I've won something, I don't have to pay for it.
There shoul be stiffer laws for people who prey on the innocent.

I just got mine today.  I had a feeling it was to good to be true. I wonder What JP Morgan would do if I took the check to them?

I just received a letter which said (network research inc) best source for secret shopper employment..with a check for 1,992.00 the check was from the international association of lions clubs 300w 22nd street oak brook,illinois ..the check it's self is from jpmorgan chase bank . said to call this number 1-905-598-4503 ask for chris sam ..i called he said deposit the check into my account and call him back..not knowing about it being a scam .i took it to the bank and they wouldn't do it thank god..i'm calling the international association of lions clubs and letting them know scammer scammers scammers

Your local police might want to see the check and envelope.  Call the non-emergency number and ask them.  

If the police don't want to see the check shred it.  Or burn it in your fireplace.  Or flush it down the toilet.  Do not try to cash it.  Do not deposit it in a bank.  Its a scam.  The check will bounce.

I just received a letter which said to call Kelly Evans at 1-905-598-0206.   The check enclosed is for $997.70 and I won $9,600.00.  CONGRATULATIONS.  I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this check, which does appear bogus.  There are about three signatures on it.  The bank is Wachovia bank.  It is drawn from Riverside Ragional Medical Center in VA??????  The phone number appears to be coming from Canada.

Not a call, but a letter with a check.  Ck Amt. $4890.00, letter states I have to Moneygram/Western Union $2985.00 to Bill Hensley.  The postal stamp is from Canada.  Other name is Laura Morgan (Promotion Manager).  The bank on the Check is Citizens Bank, Rutland Vermont 05702.  I found another person who posted something to the internet about the same things (http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/311/ripoff0311170.htm)

its a scam

No call, a letter recieved stating I was a winner among 20 others entitled to $250.000. There are many letters as such out there with company names that do not exist. In my case it is under UNITED ACCESS FINANCIAL INC. enclosed was a check for $4890.00 in which I was told was to be used for the $2985.00 owed for the taxes on my BIG winnings. I was instructed to call a LEWIS MCGREGOR before cashing the check for furthur instructions. I did not call the false "LEWIS MCGREGOR" I called the bank in which the check was drawn from and alerted them of the scam. Anyone recieving a letter and check similiar to this DO NOT cash it, you will be financially responsible for all funds recieved. Alert the bank in which the check states and then turn it over to the local authorities.

i find this to be a very very creul joke when a person is living off 900.00 a month with a husband dying from cancer and wondering how going to make it when he is gone. what ever you do don't cash that check it is a scam!.

No call, a letter just like Vicki's.  Took it to my bank and they said it was a scam.  I'm going to call the Keystone Nazareth Bank on Monday.  If I could figure out a way to make United Access Inc. responible for the funds and cash the check, I would.  My husband is recovering from cancer, been out of work for 9 months.  Like Mary says, what a cruel joke!!  The phone number on my letter is different though (905-598-2417) so be careful, it isn't the number, it's the crooks behind the number.

I just received a letter from US Marketing Firm Inc. telling me I have been selected as a customer service evaluator and the check was for 2495.00. I was to do is cash the check at western union and evaluate their service, then deposit the money into my account. I called the bank at sandy spring and asked about the company and the check they told me it was a scam. scam. scam... the company is an actual company but  the way of business that is sent through the mail is a scam. the letter was from Barbara Henderson the # 905-598-2460 hope this helps.

My check is from Bank Of Bartlett.  The letter from GUARD SECURITIES INC. International Claims Department, 300 Tower St. Bartlett, TN Tel: 6478324605, contact David Patterson Tel: 6478324605 and promo manager Benjamin Gray. Same story I won $121,007.00 the check is for $4,300.00  and pay $2,995.00 by Western Union or Moneygram. My husband called and he was also told they got his name from shopping at Wal-Mart and he needed to send the money within 5 days. My husband told them he had already deposited the check and the bank told him that he had to wait 7 business days for the check to clear.  They seemed surprised he had deposited the check(HE REALLY DIDN't), he was told him he needed to hurry up and send the money because, if they didn't received the money in 5 days that he would lose the $121,007.00 and  the $4,300.00 would be all he get.  And get this they told him he had to be home to sign for FedEx to get his $121,007.00. Can you imagine someone taking off from their job and sitting home all day for a SCAM.

My check is from the WELLS FARGO BANK. The letter from M1DDLEBURG SECURITIES SERVICES Brixton Rd London UK Tel: 647 219 6315, To contact McGregor Wells. And the promo manager is Rhonda Lee. Same story that I won 250,000.00 the check is for 3,980.00 to pay 2995.00 to the tax agent. Glad I looked on here. I did talk to McGregor Wells-he said to deposit the check and call him back-NOT. He said they got names from people shopping at Wal-Mart & Home Depot. I like how they spell M1DDLEBURG with a 1 for an I. Hope they get busted soon!

I received a letter stating that I won 8000.00, lump sum in which they enclosed a check for $996.67; attached was a 1-905-598-4191 number to contact Kristina Hayes. I am having this looked into.  The check looks like a real check from Capital One, but before I even think about cashing this I plan on checking with the BBB and the Attorney General.

Got my check today,total scum,...I mean scam.....cant believe this dudes been around this long,mine had CPS securities solutions on the check....googled this company,also a scam.....do you suppose this low rent sob doesnt realize that the internets available to all? Must of got a couple of saps, otherwise he couldnt keep this garbage up.......

we won 250000 also, the phone number 19057811043 from LINDBERGH SECURITIES SERVICES and the bank it was written on was Suffolk Co National Bank out of NY, ph # 16316685300 of course its a scam

ok so my mom got a check today...very similar to all of the others and of course we know that it is fake but what I dont understand is what do they get from me cashing it...my depositing it into my account in no way gives them my account number so how does it work (not that I am going to take my chances) just would like to understand it better, it is driving me nuts.

Received a letter on 2/13/10 from Mutual Specialties Inc with a check for $3980.00.  Same protocol as other letters, deposit check, yadda, yadda, yadda.  The contact persons name is McGregor Wells, to be contacted at 1-416-825-4962. Rhonda Lee is the Promotion Manager.  The check is from a company called Ternes Procurement Services, out in Redford MI, from Comerica Bank. Check looks very official but the letter and envelope do not.

My husband received a letter from Mutual Specialities Inc, Ontario Canada with a check for $3,980.00 I work in a bank and my first thought was SCAM!! Then I started doing some research and called the bank of account. They told me the account was open so I did some more research and found out the business on the check seemed ligit. The guy switched his name around instead of Lewis McGregor it's McGregor Wells. Rhonda Bryan Promotion Manager. He said all we had to do was deposit the check and call him back the next day. Thankfully I found this site! It's sad to see this guy has been doing this for 2 years!  Be careful and research, research, research!!

My father received a letter from LAUREL VALLEY SECURITIES INC stating it was a final notice about a drawing which he and 20 others won $250,000. Enclosed was a check for $3,980.00 of which $2,995.00 had to be paid to government taxes. The letter asked to call 1-905-598-4479 to speak with claim agent LEWIS MCGROGOR for further clarification and singed by RHONDA BRYAN as the promotion manager. To me this seemed too good to be true and have heard of scams like this one and strated searching. Unfortunately my father took that check to the bank today and the bank is to release some of the funds tomorrow, if they don't see that the whole deal is a scam. I will contact my father first thing in the morning as well as the bank to notify.

The comments on this page really helped clarifying the situation; I will take it upon myself to do what I can to stop this people from scamming hard working citizens who may be in a time of need and get blinded by this type of scams. Thank God for internet!

I received this check today for $3,980.00 for a winnings of $50,000.  Lewis McGregor stated that I won it becasue I shopped at Home Depot and Walmart IN THE LAST TWO YEARS!!! Really?  Who hasn't?  When I started to ask questions about checking into the validity of the check, he became irrate and said I could verify it with the bank and hung up.  I will be holding on to this check to have authorities look into.  This is a shame- DO NOT CASH THIS CHECK!!

I got a check for $3980 and was also told in the letter to call Lewis McGregor, but my winings were only $50,000, after reading everybody else's wininngs of $255,000 I feel cheated.

Seriously I knew this was a fraud but didn't expect to see so many people receiving this letter and the A--hole hasn't got caught yet.

I to recived a letter from them. Called them and they told me to go cash the check. Then I called them back and I told them I cashed the check they told me to call back tomarrow. I already checked them out and know it was fraud so I didn't really cash it. They need to be shut down look how many people have recevied these letters and checks. I hope no one was supid enough to do it! Totaly crazy!!!!!

The tip off was that they misspelled my name.  Surprise!

We received a letter stating several attempts to reach us to claim our winnings from Wal-Mart/Home Depot along with a check in the amount of $5980.00. They wanted us to deposit it into our bank and call them back after we did to claim the rest of our winnings. They would need no personal information (that's because they can get the information needed from the cancelled check when they receive it back. Stated that the check was to cover your 1% of taxes and that it has been deducted from your total winnings. Kept putting us on hold. Letter was from Barbara Bryan (Promotional Manager) and Claim Agent - Lewis McGregor.

Same thing!  My wife just got this letter and I researched immediately.  Here is some of the same info...Lewis McGregor, Barbara Bryan, $5980, Waterbury Securities, 500 Main St. Morriston Ontario, H4N-3L4, Phone number is different than I've seen posted though...The number they gave is 1-647-219-6315.  Anything too good to be true...is usually too good to be true.

Check is for $5,980.00.  Letters states that the check is for the taxes on the winning of $250,000.00.  There has got to be some way we can track these idiots down and arrest them for doing this and taking advantage of some people who would believe this crap.  Any ideas, please let me know.

We recieved a check on October 9th 2009 for 5,980.00 .  When we called the number they said we would have to deposit the money and then call back the number to recieve the rest of our 250,000 prize money.  it is signed barbara bryan and the contact number is 1-416-825-4962.  they want you to deposit the money so they have your bank information and then they will clean you for everything.  The headline on the letter said Waterbury Securities Inc.  We are currently talking to the bank now to report it.  DONT CASH THE CHECK!!!!
