My nephew received a check for $3845.65 saying he won over $250,000. This check was supposed to cover processing fees for administration and insurance costs. Why would you get sent a check only to have to return payment. When calling the number of the bank and the number on the letter had (which had no address)the only thing I could do was leave a message. Thank goodness he asked me to look into this before doing anything.

Enclosed with this letter was a very authentic looking check from
SunTrust Bank
Atlanta Georgia
Complete with water marks and micro printing.
I called the number and a man answered that sounded like he had a Middle Eastern accent. When I asked for Jim Johnson he said "Speaking" Not the accent I would expect from a name like Jim Johnson.
He told me to deposit the check and call him for further instruction the following day. That is where I am now. I would like to help put a stop to this fraud but am not willing to deposit this into my acct. Who should I contact to nail this guy?

Received "Certificate of Award" signed by a John Wesley Pope and check that actually had the Software Solutions address & account number on it. Very real looking, but in itself suspicious.
Son called because computer was down and couldn't check for scam. Actually got a fellow claiming to be claims agent Paul Sandes with Sunlife Financial Group.
What a hoot!
called Sunlife Finantial Group on June 11, 2006 to find out how to deal with a sweepstake notification letter received in the mail from Bonanza 2000. After had been on hold for several minutes, 'Paul Sanders' came on the line. Explained interest in further clarification regarding the sweepstake notification letter to him several times because he did not seem to be listening and therefore asked the same questions repeatedly. Paul Sanders put line on hold for several minutes, and then returned to say he could not help at that time but would call back as soon as possible that day. Paul Sanders did call back to say another client called just as he connected with this call and would call back later in the day.. Needless to say, never received a call on Saturday.
Son tried several times on Monday June 12, 2006 to once more contact Paul Sanders the claim agent named in the sweepstake notification letter. Each time, either received a disconnect or an answering machine request to leave information. On Tuesday June 13, 2006 once more tried to contact Paul Sanders at the number listed with the exact same results.
Son is disappointed, had spent monies multiple times in theory....

Is Nothram Disbursement a scam?

I received a letter in the mail with a check from chase home finance. The check looks real and is more than enough to cover the "fees" they are asking for. If I cash it without giving any account information, than what? What if I just cash and keep it? Has anyone tried to cash the check? I am a skeptic, and want to be careful. Please send info if you have it. Thank you!
