Yep, add me to the list as well.. I just received the exact same check and letter, with a canadian postage stamp...

I was just glad to see it wasn't a bill collector!!!

Live and learn!!!!

I was able to sniff this out by a lot of the clues you all have confirmed here. It looks like we all have to be as dedicated to avoiding these scams as the people who pull them.  Thanks all for the info,... they missed this mark.

I also received the letter and check.  It felt really good to call and tell them what awful people they are, and to earn money the decent way.  People should remember that if you win any money, you never have to send money to get the money.  And again, if you didn't sign up for a sweepstakes, then you didn't win the money.  I hope people don't fall for the scam, but if you do don't feel bad about yourself.  It happens to the best of us.

I got the mail last week 9/21/09. I receive a check 3,990.00 I need to know why they hang up on the phone with the interpreter. I'm hard of Hearing. So need to know to activated my check. Please call me 866 320 1651. Ref # E9374. Ticket number #3280878. Why Nicole hang up the phone when i call her. I tried explain to her about the activated my check. I need to know is it real check or not. Please relay me back or call me.

Hello all,
Just last week I received a check for the amount of 3390. I was instructed to send the check to someone in the UK or Brooklyn by Western Union. I had to send them 3500 of that money and kept the rest. I am a secret shopper part time and I am assuming that is how they got my name. If you get one of these types of check rip it up just like I did!

i recieved a check just like all of you and i was so happy to get the check because i was having my home foreclosed on and i could have saved my home.

Received the same letter and check for 3990 I knew it was too good to be true nothing is for free. I did however get a different company name from Dallas Texas and the check was from a different company Will CoX Roofing Inc. Cleveland Texas.

Yeap I got a check also and called and I said "hey so, what kind of scam are you running" so she hung up on me.  Didn't even try and defend herself.  What lossers!

I just received a similar letter with a check in the amount of $1276.00. The letter read Opinion Surveys Inc. Position: Customer Service Evaluator with an Rep ID #. The letter was stating CONGRATULATIONS !!!!, I am pleased to confirm you that you have selected to become one of our representatives in your region. Please give us a call at 1-416-887-7602 as soon as you receive this package to validate the enclosed payment of this assignment. Now my letter stated that i was to be paid for my training in the amount of $200.00  That i would be trained and it provided a break down of the funds that was attached (So when i seen this I was like okay i do not have to come out of my pocket and i am still getting paid.  The only way they could of got my name was from me appling for work at home jobs seen on tv by CNN and CBS etc..) Breakdown listed: 2 hour Evaluation training pay.........$ 200.00, Required fund to be sent ..... $950.00, Service Charge by Western Union........$86.00 and Retail Shop Evaluation Assignment (In which I was to keep purchased goods and mail in the recepits) .... . $40.00 and or fax to 1-866-758-7930.  I called the lady and she was like deposit the check and call me in the morning.  I am glad my bank has a fraud system in place and can be stop. I am glad i did not have any prior money but .22 cents in my account. I have also reported this situtation to my bank. I really needed that money. darn it!!
