I, too, have recieved a letter from Douglas Ferdinand, Irish Random Lottery with a check totaling $2,995.05. The letter states "to begin your lottery claim, contact your claim agent, MARY ADAS, of Royal Imperial Management Financial Group at 331 Smith Street Suite 406, Winnipeg, MB, R3B 2G9, an accredited agency of IRISH RANDOM LOTTERY at 1-306-351-0305." What made me suspicious of this is the multiple typographical errors in the letter. I have never entered any lotto and would definitely not enter on in Ireland. The letter also asks "that you keep this award from public notice until your claim has been processed and money remitted to your account, as part of our security protocol to avoid double claiming or unwaranted taking of advantage of the program by participants and the public."

I liked your posting, you went though alot of work to find out all that info. I have some property down in Arizona that you can buy from me if that check goes though...or not. Its prime land, close to a prison with no water and electrical hook ups will be extremely expensive. Theres always solar panels and water drop off though. I'm not to sure about septic tank issues but if you believe a line like the one you recieved in the mail from someone giving out money the crap can just run onto the ground. Do you by any chance work these scams to leave a message like, I called the bank and they said the check was good and I deposited it? Good lord!!! God left you a mind and commercials say its a terrible thing to waste.
Do you by any-chance take illegal or prescription drugs? If so STOP taking them booze, your mental vision is going to crap and I'm sure to see out on the side of I-5 with a sign asking for money and having the meth twitches. I'll toss a quarter @ you and spray you with posions out of my SUV exhaust. Unless of course you want to send my money to a remote P.O. box in Cuba monthly. Anyways, I have to go the voices in my head are out again and rum with pineapple juice is the only cure.

Just received notice from a Guaranty Finacial Trust and infoming me that I have been select as a winning number for the North-American Sweepstakes Lottery. I received a check in the amount of 4,975.00 and said it was to be deducted from the 250,000 . It give prize numbers and everything. The company that is on the check is ALC Financial Group, INC from Corona Ca.
The check is written from the Union Bank of California in Orange CA. They have give me a number in Canada to call and informed me once I cash the check I needed to send them 2,800 by Western Union or Moneygram... sounds pretty fishy to me... what ya think ya all ???

Hi, Jack R. Keys....Here's my help if you want to use it...Call your bank and ask for their FRAUD DIVISION...and then tell them that a Company is Debitting your Account after you cancelled the subscribtion. Let them know dates of cancellations and any other info. they ask for. They will reverse charges and fees whenever necessary. Your Bank is on your side when it comes to things like this, believe me. I've done it countless times, because I'm an idiot who keeps ordering things online and gets in trouble with these companies all the time. And everytime that happens, my banks comes through for me, so try that as your first step. Let them know that you have activities in your account that you would like to dispute, and go from there...good luck.

Hi, All...this is especially for Jen and those with the following check from: RENAISSANCE HOSPITALS, INC.
OPERATING ACCOUNT; 427 W. 20TH STREET #300; HOUSTON, TX 77008--$2,995.75...7/05/2006; BANK ONE; THE AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE IS SIGNED BY MICHAEL (can't figure last name)Starts with either an S, or an I.
I received mine on Saturday the 15th of July, now I have tried to find out the legitimacy of this check, but couldn't do anything until this morning.
I called Bank One, (now Chase Bank), and I told them that I had received a check for $2,995.75 and would like to find out if it was a good check. She asked for the Account #, and I gave it to her. She then asked for the name of the Company on the check, and I gave that to her also. She then told me that the Company and the Account # matched, and that the account is Valid and Currently an Open Account.
So I asked for the phone # of the Company, but she was not able to give that out for obvious reasons, since that is private information. But, she told me to just deposit the check and then wait to see if it clears. Other than that, she could not help me because I don't have a Chase Bank Account. I live in WA State, so we don't have a Bank One, or Chase Bank...so, I just deposited the check, and then let's just see what happens.
I will let you all know....it might be possible, but then, I am a very skeptical person...ya know the saying...if it's too good and all that...usually the saying is soooo true. But, then you never know.
Anyways, I am still weary about it. I do play Lotto all the time at every chance when I can afford it, of course...so, having something like happening is not so unusual for me, but, it's an amount I can't afford to repay if someone is pulling a good quick one on the unsuspected. So, be skeptical and weary and test the water, but if you still have the feeling that is NOT GOOD, go with it.
I am just going to test the water, and still trying to contact the Company anyways, just to cover my butt! Please let me know how many RENAISSANCE HOSPITALS, INC. CHECKS ARE OUT THERE.
SUPPOSEDLY, ONLY 17...EXACT MATCH CHECKS...SO PEOPLE, LET'S START COUNTING AND POST IT SO WE'D ALL KNOW IF OUR CHECK IS A SCAM....
ONE THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT MY CHECK THOUGH, IS THAT THE BOTTOM # SEQUENCE ARE WRONG...BUT THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNT NUMBERS ARE VALID AND VERIFIED BY THEIR BANK...SO, NOW WHAT?
I WILL TRY AND CONTACT THE COMPANY MYSELF IF POSSIBLE.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, AND GOD BLESS.
Lefu
p.s. My bank informed me that the check will be cleared on Sunday, 7-24-2006 at 5 p.m. That means on Monday I will see if any activities occur in my account, and I might give it a few days to see what happens, while I keep investigating. So, far so good, and I will keep you all posted. If it comes back to giving this money back because of some fraudulent activities, then I will do so gladly, otherwise, well we will see, and keep you all posted. Later!

Hey Rose Anne,
I received the exact same check as you! I received mine on Saturday and the amt and the bank name is the same as yours. Of course i was excited checking my mail and find this big check along with other bills! but my husband and I both knew this was too good to be true and i had to investigate on my own. I did try calling the number listed on the letter along with my agents name of Judy Taylor. But like everyone else, I kept getting the voice mail saying message box full. I also called the number thats noted on the check under T.Rowe Price and that number 306-351-4305 also says "mesage box full". Okay, right away i knew this was all a scam and felt so dumb knowing i was excited at first but i also went online and looked up the bank name of "state street bank & trust company" in Boston, MA. The rep i spoke too there ask me right away if the check i received was from a lottory and i told her yes. She said to tear up the check because she's been getting alot of calls regarding this. and she did inform me that this check is fraud. So pls, do not cash your check or you will get into lots of trouble.
Good luck

i received one of these checks too today as well mine says to call walter richard at royal imperial financial group. i'm sure this is a fraud, and i for one do not have a checking acct. so if anyone in the us has cashed one of these checks for 2995.75. i would like to know.
2006-07-17 15:42:49 -
I receive a winning certificate.

I just received my letter and disbursement check from Irish Random Lotto for $2995.05 payable at State Street Band & Trust Co. of Boston, MA with a T. Rowe Price insignia on the upper left hand corner.
Wondered if I need to report this to the Postmaster General?
2006-07-17 15:17:00 -
I received the same letter/check, but will several 'new and improved' features...the company that supposedly wrote the check is PRECOR USA....I researched this on the net, and it is a real company...the address on the check is their address..and their is a toll-free # as well (not a Canadian #)...when I called that toll-free #, it was answered by a machine that said the company name so fast and garbled, I can not tell what they daid, but it was NOT PRECOR....I also noticed that the numbers on the bottom of the check are in the wrong order...I have prined out the instructions elsewhere on this website that say to give the whole thing to your postmaster...tomorrow, off I go to the manin Post Office for a little discussion with the Post Master....
Is there any real effort being made to catch these people? I would love to find a way to get some moolah out of these scamsters, as well as to shut them down....if it became more risky to play these scams on people, they would not be doing it quite as much...internet scams are bad enough, the ones sent through the USPS hit folks who do not go online - the poor, the elderly....those who can afford it the least...
2006-07-17 15:14:48 -
My husband and I got one of the Irish Lotto checks. I don't know anything about it and thought I would look it up on the internet and see if I could find anything.
2006-07-17 15:01:51 -
i got a check in the mail for 4,975.00
