I got a check in the mail today for $2,788.00 that was written on this bank. The letter I received was from Stat-Sense Research Northern America. They said they were interested in hiring me as a secret shopper to give reviews of services. The letter went on to say that $280.00 of the money was my pay for the week and $2,302.00 should be sent to a ""supposed relative"" by western union and $186.00 was to cover the wiring fee. It says that my research coordinator will provide me with a computer generated name to send the money to when i call them. They said they wanted me to evaluate the service of the western union representative. I figured that it was a scam because any time they want you to cash a check and send money to anyone ( like the ""supposed relative"" ) it is because they want you to take the fall for cashing the check and they get to walk away with the money that you are stuck paying it back. My friend was just arrested because of cashing a check from one of these people. I just wanted to make anyone that gets one of these letters aware of what was going on and I want to thank the rest of you who took the time to let people know your stories. My friend that got arrested because of this is a single mother raising 2 kids and the only income she has is $710.00 a month on her disability. She is diabetic and is really sick so theres no way she can get a job to try to pay this back. Its a shame that people are so cruel that they take from people that have nothing by flat out lying to them and preying on their desperation with promises of hope for improving their situation. I think everyone involved in this should be arrested and have to pay the victims back. more

My son just received a check that was over 5K from SallieMae and it had this place where the name of the bank should be. He has been trying to sell a truck and had texted with someone named Roger Kim or Kim Roger. They never did come to an agreement about the price but there was that whole ""I like the truck, I agree with your price and now I will send you a check plus the costs to ship it"" thing. Today the check arrived through FedEx Smartpass which has the post office deliver the mail and they had to scan the envelope saying we got it. \r \r I cannot convince him that this is a scam so he has now gone to a bank to try and open an account with this check. He wont believe me when I tell him how these scams work. I am sure that the bank may hold it for 5 to 10 days then release the funds but then the check will ultimately come back as fake and he will be left owing some bank 5K. Im sure that is some type of crime to owe a bank that much even in this situation. \r \r Please pray with me that the bank wont open an account with that check! We tried to call this place and they told him that they couldnt verify the check or if it would clear. That is so untrue of real banks. more

My husband received a check in the amount of $3400.20.He was told to call an agent on a normal buisness day and to speak with a man by the name of John Steed.It states that the check is to cover any charges that may be required before receiving any funds.After looking up the Insurance Company and the so called bank it is to my decession that this is nothing more then a scam.I think that these people that send these FAKE checks out should be arrested and put in jail.They get peoples hopes and dreams up for what their on gratification.I would never trust anything like this ever again I have read some of the reviews and my heart goes out to all the folks that have been scammed by these kind of people.What has happened to AMERICA.There is no one you can trust.By the way the letter was from Readers Digest but the check does'nt have their name on it anywhere and the letter does'nt state anywhere about the Bank or Insurance Company..So if there is anyone out there that has received one of these checks please report this it is a scam and if you take the check to your bank its gonna fall back on you when the check comes back to be FAKE and trust me it will..So before doing something crazy check with your bank to see if it a real check before you deposit that check or even cash it..

I received a check in the amount of $4,800.00. Along with the check I received a letter stating that I am the 2nd prize winner. The drawing was on June 16, 2010. The serial number 5928549 attached to my name matched the first five lucky winning number 11-25-31-37-49 and subsequently won US $450,000.00. Apparently Novatrust financial services have been assigned bythe international sweepstake organiation to inform the winners and pay them off their winnings. In the letter it states that I am to contact claims agent Jim Martin at 1-778-858-2901 M-F, 10 a.m.-5pm to start my claim processing. the letter is written by a Steven Morrison, Promotion Manager. Your company is listed on the top portion of the check along with American General Insurance Company out of Amarillo, Tx. Check N0: 10443446, I am unable to read the signature on the check. No return address on the envelop. The stamp looks like it was just slapped on like someone was in a rush. It is a normal canada' postage stamp. Not what one expects to see on an envelope. Messy job one did. more
