Bernie - 4 Mar 2008SCAM alert:
I got a check for $4,980.00 from Fidelity Trust (Phone: 289-892-2730; Fax: 888-414-7953)along with a letter congratulating me on my home improvement grant approval. The grant for $39,000.00 was supposed to have been deposited into an escrow account. The check for $4,980.00 was a deduction from the total grant ($39,000.00) to assist me in paying the necessary fees and taxes.... SCAM!
Stay away from this scam.

Ifihadahifi - 11 Apr 2008I received this same letter and check today.
I had my bank to verify that the check was good. They called the bank it was drawn on and verified the funds were available and the company was legit.
How does this scam work ?

Jess - 2 Sep 2008The number for the bank on the check is wrong. Call information and you will get the REAL number for the bank and find out that the money wasnt EVER there! When you cash the check they send and then do as they say you get stuck with a bounced check and they get the cash. DO NOT DO THIS...I PROMISE YOU IT IS A SCAM!!!!!

KenNCrys - 28 Aug 2008We got a check for our home improvement grant for $4,855.55 out of a total $41,000. We called the guy, who sounded foreign, and he told us to deposit the check and take out $3,150 and send $2,999 of that Western Union - the other $151 was to pay the Western Union Fee - to a person in New York, New York. All of this sounded funny to us - a letter with a Canada stamp on it from a company called "Allied Group, Inc." (which does exist, although is in New Jersey and makes filters and mufflers) headquartered in New York with a check drawn on an Ohio bank with the Summit Brands logo on it (a company based in Indiana) and the phone number we had to call - 289-892-2842 - is in Ontario with the guy wanting us to send close to $3,000 to someone in New York. We were ecstatic to see we won money, but when we put it all together along with calling the Better Business Bureau who said it was a scam - you'll lose money and could go to jail for participating in a foreign lottery, as they call it, so we shredded the check and the letter. Bottom line, if it's from a foreign country it's fake, a scam, and not worth it.
Caller: Allied Group, Inc.
