I just received a check for $3,750. Did you ever get your money?

We got a letter with a check for 3900.00 from a customer evaluation draw.

Hey!  I just received a letter today. It was post marked from Canada for $3700.00 check. The check was from San Franciso, the letter I received listed New York , NY.  It is the biggest scam , if people do take advantage of this they are stupid!!

I got the same letter and cashiers check with instructions not to cash it until speaking with Mr. Davies.  I saw the identical winning numbers on another person's complaint.  It is so bogus.  I just had to change my bank acct, and file FTC Report and Police Report for another identity theft trying to supposedly sue me.  Watch out people.  We have gone global and everywhere out there are predators attempting to victimize us.

My letter had NO return address at all. The postmark was from Canada, the letter has a New York address on it and the check is from an Ohio bank. Everyone that got this letter and the check is from PNC Bank should call their Fraud department to report this so maybe we can get it stopped. The Fraud number is (888)213-1143. I spoke to a lady at ther phone number (888)PNC-BANK and she says that is probalby a scam. She also gave me a number to call to verify the check being ligit, but I got my mail too late to make either call today. Tomorrow I am going to call both to verify the check and talk to the Fraud Dept. It's time we do something to put an end to CONS trying to SCAM us.

Praise God. Thank you for the comments. I just got a check and letter from Canada with no return address. This was a signal right away. Thought I'd check this number out.I won't deposit this check but will report it.

CASHIER'S CHECK FOR $3,700.00. I checked with my local police department and Bank.  Both advised me to shred the check and DO NOT call the number.  Our local PD advertises in the newspaper to worn people about SCAMS like this.  They are preying on people who have money problems and are wanting to believe because we all need money.  I had a neice that fell for this and is still trying to pay off the dept she incurred over this "prize money".  Read the message from the person at the bank.  By the time your bank knows the check is bad you owe a lot of money that you have to pay back.  A big red flag for me was the "major stores"  If these stores were giving away that kind of money Don't you think they would be advertising big time about the give away?  You bet they would.  Praying that people are getting more Scam savey and Learn the ONLY thing FREE in Life is the LOVE the Savior has for us all.

I too received this letter. Waiting on Mr. Ed Davis response.

cjhay;
I just received a similar letter.  Have you found this to be a scam?  My amounts are a little different.  He said I was the 16th caller out of 20 winners.  He also said not to tell anyone in case of a duplication of some sort.  It sounded fishy to me.  Thanks for your input.  K

I got the same letter and check.  What was the outcome?  did you get your money?

Called Matco Tools which is on the check and they advised that the check is fraudulent and to tear up the check.......

I would not deposit the check. Just read the post. You can only cause yourself harm by not destroyoing the check.

Indeed the address was a subway franchise. Mr Davis claimed to be in New York City but had a Toronto metropolitan phone #. Not a cell phone I might add. I would hope that anyone who might have been contacted by this idiot will check it out first. It is a dead give away when they ask for money to pay your tax liability.

THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number,  or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

This is a scam! I use to work for a bank. It can take 2 weeks for a check like this to clear. Banks are federally regulated and can only put a 2 day hold on this check, that does not mean it has cleared the bank. The Check is from Illinois, the business is in Ohio and the return address is Canada. Before I retired from the bank we saw alot of scams coming out of Canada and England. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! Anytime you have got to send them money it is a scam.

I got the same letter so waiting for my check to clear..  He also told me to send $2700 for taxes.  He didn't say anything about getting a 1099 at the end of the year.  I will call back to Mr. Davis.

Just got the same letter, I called the subway where the address is listed, and the clerk told me there are several businesses in that building. I am taking the check to the bank, and see if it is real..if it is, I too will call the number when I know the funds are secure. This is the first time I ever received a cashier's check for payment..good luck everyone..we will all be richer, or bigger fools than before....I did queston the man about a scam, and he said then don't go any further, we are not asking for money, or asking for anything to be bought, he also told me I could choose, cashier's or money order, and I will also get a 1099 form for the income taxes....

Look at the return address on the letter itself. I checked the address and it comes back to a Subway Restaurant at 120 4th Avenue, New York, NY.

I have received a letter with a check for 3900.00 from a customer evaluation draw.  Says I have won 120,000.00 and they are sending this amount to pay back 2900.00 taxes.  Afterward I will receive the balance.  I have taken the check to my bank which has a two day hold on it.  If the funds do appear in my account then I will call back.  When I called this number "Claims Disbursement Agent'" Mr. Ed Davis told me to deposit the check into my account and then call back they would then tell me where to send the 2900.00 for taxes.  My bank did not question the check and the two day hold is customary.  I will wait for the funds to show in my balance and then call.  
Has anyone else heard from this man or this sweepstakes?  120 4th Ave, New York, NY 10012
