Can I open an account with this check for $3,990 and just spend from it? Who would know other account numbers if I did this? Do you pay taxes on gifts that are less than $5,000? Should I contact a lawyer?
| Greg 2013-06-18 18:06:38 Unknown |
Got a letter saying I won the UK Mega Lottery. Check for $3,990. It will soon be in the hands of the US Postal Inspector. I hope you go to jail Lloyd Lewis.

I received the same check today. Did anyone notice that the check signature says Vice-PreSSident and Treasurer?
| chris 2013-05-30 14:30:07 Unknown |
Did you try to cash the check and did it work?
| JJ 2013-05-30 13:41:02 Unknown |
Under U.S. banking laws, if you receive a check made out to you, with no notations on the check indicating that this is a "loan" or anything else that you will incur if you sign it, it is lawfully legal. So, if your check doesn't have any disclosure statements on it, sign it, and put it into an account you rarely use (you don't want them getting your account numbers of your primary accounts), when the check comes back bad, the write will incur the NSF costs........
| JJ 2013-05-30 13:27:56 Unknown |
I am just going to "for deposit only" the check into an account that currently has 5.00 to see if it clears. Don't use an account that you use all the time and have money in, because they can get the number off the back of the check and do automated withdrawals without your approval.

Got a check stating it was from Elanco Animal Health, a letter explaining a lottery that is from Appleby financial Services.

I received a check in the mail for $3900 drawn on the account of A & J Produce at Signature Bank in Bronx, NY which is a portion of my part of $150,000 lottery winning in the MAGA LOTTERY conducted in the UK that I never knew I entered. This is a $3 Million US Dollar jackpot that I am sharing with 19 other participants. Taxes on the $150,000 winnings are suppose to be $1900 (this would probably be the estimated taxes on winning the $3900 considering it is winnings and our current tax rate). I was asked to keep this CONFIDENTIAL and to contact my claim agent Lloyd Lewis at 1-905-598-5410 for further clairfication within 5 business days. The envelope appears as if it is from Home Depot, the letter inside the envelope with the check is from Appleby Financial Services and the enclosed check is from A & J Produce Corp. The Mega Jackpot lotto was held on April 25th, 2013, in the 2nd category. Ticket serial NO 408662257 drew the lucky winning NO 40-56-78-81-03. There were 50,000 names in the US, Canada and UK from which my name was drawn.
| Richard 2013-05-15 13:04:23 Unknown |
Same as everyone else but mine came in a Home Depot envelope, with a check from A&J Produce.
Letter states to keep this confidential and to call Lloyd Lewis for instructions. That I owe 1,995.00 in taxes and it gets paid to the tax agent???? Can we say scam scam scam. I hope no one falls for this.
| Manana Evans 2013-05-09 04:21:32 Unknown |
I recieved a check for $3990.00 and the claim agent is also Lloyd Lewis. I check the bank routing numbers and it was legitimate but it sound like a scam to me.
| dtrain 2013-05-08 23:52:07 Unknown |
I also recieved a check for $3990.00? I
Always thought that you recieve winnings
By certified mail ,mr. Lloyd's process
Sounds too easy .
| sbf 2013-05-06 21:07:36 Unknown |
Envelope from Costco, bank called signature bank; company name of A&J Produce: all legitimate bank and company, it is the Appleby Finacial Services that is not legit. If you want $1,995 for taxes, let me cash the $3,990 check and I will be more than happy to pay the tax, never mind about the $150,000 - major scam, reporting to the post office.
| Mary 2013-05-01 21:18:21 Unknown |
I received the check in the amount of 3990.00 and according to the letter I entered a drawing at Home Depot. I
called Mr. Lloyd Lewis and he said to run to the bank to deposit the check and to call him immediately. No way.
| greggers 2013-04-11 03:04:40 Unknown |
so has any one tried to cash the 3990 check ? and has it cleard? cant i just cash that check and not send him any money ?
| fred 2013-04-02 03:46:23 Unknown |
Mines came fr. Prestige Financial Svc for UK OX1 3AS in a Sears Financial Envelope. The check is from OBrien Steel Svc fr. Peoria, IL. Everything it says was baloney from MEGA LOTTERY conducted in UK to the deduction of $3990 and the $1995 to be paid directly to the tax agent. Too many loopholes to go through in winning $150,000.00 plus it's 'CONFIDENTIAL." That kind of gave it to be "sounds too SUSPICIOUS!"

This company is an illegal operation. They are sending checks to people saying that the lottery. The checks look real. Be careful! The letter comes from one address, the check form another, and the envelop from Walmart, Canada.
Alledged names:
1. Pretige Finzacial Services
Primerica Life Insurance Company
Walmart

I received a letter from Harmony Securities with a check for $3990 from Incorporated Research Institutions Seismology on PNC Bank. The check was very authentic looking as others have said in these reviews. The letter advised I had actually won $150,000 and this check was to pay Government taxes and I should contact Claim Agent/Lloyd Lewis prior to cashing the check. It also advised to keep this
information "Confidential" until I received the cash to prevent "unscrupulous acts" by non participants! I did call and was told by Mr. Lewis that I had been entered into this lottery because I had shopped at Wal-Mart or Lowe's within the past 2 years. When I questioned the legitimacy of this "lottery", he hollered at me to give him the claim #. He then put me on hold a couple of times before returning to call with instructions on
depositing the check and calling him back to confirm check has cleared and then he would give me an address to send payment for taxes. He then put me on hold again and I hung up. This is a SCAM!

Called the number back and challenged the male with the foreign voice. He told me he knows where I live and will come and kill me, rape my wife, kill her, and then drink our blood. What a guy.
| DENNIS 2013-01-23 20:20:30 Unknown |
HE THREATENED TO KILL ME AND DRINK MY BLOOD AND RAPE MY WIFE.
| kimberly 2013-01-23 00:15:50 Unknown |
Received same letter for 3990 with envelop from costco wholesale, check cut from company called quality aviation instruments, inc and letter addressed from harmony securities inc.
| Donna 2013-01-20 17:34:50 Unknown |
Mine is from "Incorporated Research Insitutions Seismology" for $3,990.00 in an "HSBC" return envelope from "Harmony Securities". I think they are getting confused...
| Chris 2013-01-16 02:13:55 Unknown |
I received the check as well $1330.00. Sears Financial.
| thomas 2013-01-15 01:43:47 Unknown |
Got the exact same letter, only it came in an envelope from Sears Financial

I received a scam letter like many have described to be partial lottery winnings to cover the tax bill, but mine says to call (Claim Agent) LLOYD LEWIS at 905-598-5410. A real-looking check was included with back-side watermark and everything. It appears to be drawn off an account by Iron Horse Ventures at Comerica Bank, but the envelope says it is from HSBC Finance.
