I received a letter at my parents home in Pittsburgh in August of 2011. I should note that I have not lived there for the last 6 years. The letter was post marked bulk mail from Canada. The postage number on the upper right corner of the envelope was 1681814. There was no return address on the envelope. There was a professional looking letter inside. The letter head was in large bold letters from the "Baughman Co. Inc. The letter states that I was selected as the winner of a $9700.00 cash prize. It said I filled out a survey and I was selected. Also said it was my final notice to collect. It stated that I need to contact Jamie Reed at 905-782-0443. There was also a check enclosed that looks legitimate for $998.75. The letter states that this is my first payment, but the funds are not available until I call the number above. The check has a title from the "First Federal Bank", but there is no address on it. The check is signed by Jene T. Baughman. The letter itself is signed by a Nathan Deeks. I noticed on the back of the envelope that there was an out of date FSC logo (Forest Stewardship Council) from 1996. The certificate number was SGS-COC-004720. I happen to work in the printing industry and I know you can look up the certificate number on the logos to check the ownership. I searched the FSC and that certificate number dose not exist. This is obviously a wire fraud scam. I would like to get the names listed above on the internet so it can be searched on the web as fraud. I searched the internet for all the names above and I found nothing.

Just got the same letter today. Different phone number, and supposed to contact Carey Michaels. Letter is signed by Philip Keaton. Check amount is $994.88.

I figured it was a scam as soon as I opened it and saw a check. NOBODY sends me a check for nine hundred dollars!! LOL I hope these people get shut down soon. The check does look very real. Who knows what would happen if you deposited it in your bank. I guess that would then give them all your bank info. Scary!! I'd never received one of these kinds of things before. It's easy to see why the elderly would fall for this.

I just received the same letter with the name PHILLIP KEATON as the signature. I went straight to the computer to check if it was a scam. (Sure enough it is). Had a phone # 905-782-0443 to call in order to cash check.

I got one too, and called the bank. They confirmed that it is a scam and told me to rip it up. They said they didn't need any more info from me because they have enough information already. I asked what would have happened if I had deposited the check, and she told me they would have taken the money out of my account.

Received the same letter that the above people mentioned no ruturen address and the persion I was to contact was Natalie Hayes.
I was almost gulible enough to call the 904-782-0470 number and then try to cash the check.
Thank you for posting your comments on lie.
And thank goodness I headed the red flags that kept hitting mein the face.
I will take this to the local police department and report it, and try to make others aware of the sxam.
Thank you

I also received one 9?10/11, from R. Bradley. If the checks were stolen from the bank and printed onto, what does the badguy do if you call? Ask for all your info and clean out your account? Stupid people we have NO money...we're on disability. I wonder if they just connect the name, phone# when you call by I.D., and then try to gather more info on you for marketing purposes. Crazy.

I am so glad I found this site! I can't believe I almost fell for this scam. It all seemed too good to be true and theses people make this sound so real! In hard times, something like this sure would come in handy. I hope no one falls victim to this scam! The checks they are sending out are so real and makes you want to believe that this is all in good faith. Thanks for everyone posting their comments. It made me think twice and this could have been a horrible mistake!
