TrustNet

My letter was like the others here except it was for $250,000.00 and the fees of $2000.00. My “Wheaton Bank & Trust Company” check for $2,524.50 looked so real i almost took it to deposit it with my broker. The names were different. I was to call Samantha Smith – 1-866-205-9185 before I acted on the letter. You know these phone numbers are not free to the ones who rented it. 1-800 and 866 maybe toll free but can be tracked. Why can’t this group of people doing this fraud be caught?

I received a letter in the mail from Trust Net, claiming I had won $75,000 through the North America Consumer Promotion Draw, which was organized for all customers of Walmart, Sears, Home Depot and Safeway, etc. They included a check for $1224.80. I was to call James Richmond at 1 866-253-9395 who would give further instructions. Mr Richmond told me to take the check to the bank and cash it. The letter indicated I was send $1000 to them for processing and insurance fee. It sounded too good to be true, so we called the local ScamPulse.com office and they assured us it was a scam. We are going to follow up with our bank as well to positively identify this as a fake or not.

Fake check stating I had won $49,260.00, a check for $985.00 was enclosed but I MUST call my claim agent David young at 1-888-817-1738

I received a letter mailed in Canada with the address: York Civic Center, 2700 Eglington Avenue W., Toronto, ON M6M IVI. The contents were a letter from ‘trustnet – a Financial Express Company’, 4333 Charles Drive, Arlington, TX 76006′ and a check from Citybank, N.A. in the amount of $1.224,80. The letter suggested that I was a winner "…in the of NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PROMOTION DRAW promoted by Walmart, Sears, Home Depot, Safeway etc in the amount of $75,000.00". I was told to contact a Ronald King at 1-888-825-7905 for instructions on how to claim my winnings. I was also told that processing and insuring would cost $1,000.00; hence the advance check. The letter further instructed me not to act on this letter, until I spoke with my local claims agent. The word ‘until’ was misspelled as "untill" and one of the give-aways that this was a fake. The letter was signed "W. Hunter, Vice president Finance". The check looks fake, with an odd check number, and printed on plain paper. The letter looks fake. – I went online and found that similar letters and checks had been sent out. Please be aware and do not fall for something that devious!

I’m submitting this complaint on behalf of my elderly neighbor, who does not have a computer or the internet. She received a letter from Trustnet stating that she had won $75.000 from "NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PROMOTION DRAW". She was to contact a Samatha Williams regarding receiving her "winnings". They enclosed a check in her name Earlene Brown in the amount of $1224.80 that was supposed to be deposited in her checking account, but she would have to send them $1000 to cover "processing fees and insurance". The check is drawn on the Sterling State Bank, located at 16366 Kenrick Ave. Lakeville, Mn 55044. I told her that this sounded like a scam because why would they need money for processing fees and insurance. I also told her not to deposit the check because she could be out of more that $2224.80 if she does because I think this is a scam. Is there any way you could contact my neighbor to let her know one way or the other about this. I am a senior myself but this sounds fishy to me. My name is Charlette Harris I live in Chicago Il. my email address is [email protected]

My wife received a check in the amount of $1224.80 drawn on a Bank of America account 64-1278/611 at 150 Windsor Street, Harford, CT 06120. The letter said she had been chosen as a winner in the "North America-Europe Consumer Promotion Draw" and that she was entitled to the sum of $60,260.00. In the letter, she was told to call her "Claim Agent" Josh Miles 1-877-227-6265 and not to act on the letter until she called him. It also stated that a tax amount of $1000.00 would be required before the lump sum winnings could be sent to her by FedEx or UPS. The origin of the letter and return address on the envelope was from "York Civic Centre" 2700 Eglinton Ave. W., Toronto, ON M6M1V1 in CANADA. I made copies of the envelope, check, and letter and took them to our local bank, our local post office, our local police station, and called the Federal Trade Commission and gave them the information about this Fraud Scam. When I tried to report it to Bank of America they game me the fraud line phone number of 1-800-432-1000. The only problem with that number is, if you do not have an account with them, you can’t make a report. I do have copies of the check, etc. that I will be taking to our local branch of Bank of America tomorrow.
