The letter and check are going right to the shredder

I just received the same junk here in Aug.6, '10
Itr is going right to the shredder

My mother just received the EXACT letter and check. My dad passed away end of July and she is still receiving at least 25-30 envelopes a day for sweepstakes. It's awful. A waste of paper, money for stamps and they are killing our trees!

I just got the same letter and check with the EXACT same info. It is for my father that is 80 years old. He receives about 30 envelopes a day that have info about winning contests and sweepstakes. They all ask for money so they can send out the winnings. It's all a bunch of crap.

I received the same grant home improvement letter with a check for $1990.00 for assistance with the disbursement and processing fees. The check was from Bank of New York Mellon. We get these all the time and it is such BULL that these people can't be stopped.

My mother who is an 86 year old woman recieved this exact letter. Same information as the others. She called my older sister who investigated it and found this website. Shame on those who prey on the elderly people. It even stated in so many words in the later. There time will come. Taute

Got a letter from Universal Financial Inc. The letter was mailed to my 12 year old son, saying he was chosen for some kind of home improvement grant.They sent him a check for $3, 375 and said we had to send the money in for processing fees. They told us to call Frank Daniels @ [protected] to get the check approved. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM...please be AWARE! Here is some information they put in the letter.

Just recieved my 4885.00 check from my 250000.00 winnings in a contest I never entered or have never heard about. They are getting better because the letter looks really official, however I looked up the "wild West Domains, inc" who the check is drawn on and found minor descreapancies in the address such as suite # 219 instead of 229 which is listed as their number, street name was misspelled by one letter, Scottsdale, AZ was misspelled by one letter and zipcode was off by one number. Not the type of mistakes that a bank or company makes on a legitimate check. However at first glance a very good forgery. my Claim agent is Susan Black and of course it is supposed to be " CONFIDENTIAL"

Just received the same letter, here it is 2010 and they are still scamming people. Why can't they be stopped?

i recieved my check for $4885.00 today (4/10/2010).
it was on a check headed "fashions by penina" in marlton, nj. that company does exist.
it was drawn on "commerce bank", 336 route 70, marlton nj 08053. that bank does exist.
i will be calling both to inform them their businesses are being used as well as the pa attorney generals office.
scam no more.

Received the same letter and check mentioned here.
Very interesting reading, I must say!
Here's the kicker: They supply me with a check for $4885.00, but I have to send them back $2985.00 for taxes?
Since when can you pay your taxes via Walmart with a Moneygram?

Oh, and they URGE ME to keep notice of my winnings confidential!

I'm sure they don't want me to tell someone who could alert me to the scam before I cash that check and mail them the money, right?

People, this is a common scam: they take advantage of those looking for something for nothing.
In today's economic conditions, many people pray that these scams are real, so they can pay off debt or go an a vacation they can't afford.

It's just unfortunate that individuals mailing out these scams are not held responsible and punished for their deeds.

All one can do is toss it all in the shredder.

You stand a 100% better chance by playing the lottery, which is little chance at best.

If you cash these checks you've already lost but it may take a few days or weeks to find out.

Hear what others are saying here and throw the stuff away! Don't become a victim!

My father got the same $4, 885.00 check today. It looked realistic, but had the same unrealistic tax information ($2, 985.00) on winnings of $250, 000.00. It was written is if from a legitimate business with a real bank in NJ. We had a good laugh about it, then he gave it to the cop who lives next door. The ironic thing was that the Canadian postmark bore the words "Prevent Fraud" in both English and French!
I caution the woman who was actually able to cash the check to hold on to the money. These crooks are using real accounts from unsuspecting and uninvolved businesses. It's remotely possible that a fraudulant check could be honored initially, but eventually the mistake will be detected. We thought it was funny, because it was obviously a scam, but I feel sorry for those who have fallen for it or have had their hopes falsely elevated. The people running the Universal Trust and Finance Inc. dupe should be relentlessly sought after and punished. However, I seriously doubt that anything will be done. Peace.

Received the same letter today, googled Diver's Supply in Jacksonville, FL, they are aware someone is using their name for this fraudulent. I also contacted Wal-Mart as they are being utilized in this scam as well.
