SPAM contest winner fake check

Did not call.  Knew it had to be fake and my research has proven me correct.

Letter in US mail - plain envelope.  No postmark - Ck is fake check with name Hayfield Window and Door Company.  Gee, I've never won anything - why would I win now!

I hope they catch the person(s) responsible.

I got a letter in the mail has a check in it for 4888.53 says it's for the 3.5% federal tax on $100,000 that I won through readers digest, publishers clearing house,etc.  unclaimed prizes. Name of company is DNR TECHNOLOGIES
agents names are Susan Robinson, Sean Peter.  The claims specialists name is Juan O. Wane.  The address is given as 400 W. Fullerton Carol Stream,IL
The check is drawn on the Private Bank Chicago,IL. I called the phone number I got this Susan Robinson. She said to let them know when I presented this check to the bank and they would send the rest of the money.
I told my husband and he is in the carol stream area right now and he said that the phone number didn't seem right. the area code for carol stream is 630 not 647.  So I googled it and it brought me to this web site.  and the phone number seems to come out of toronto  but is registered in Quebec.

I recieved this same check in the mail.  Stamp was from Canada with no return address which made me suspicious.  I called the number from the letter and got some guy by the name of Sean Peter.  He was anxious to get me off the phone and not in the least excited to tell me of my winnings which was the next red flag. My biggest question was why they were willing to pay for my taxes on my winnings.  That is against the law.  I googled the number and it took me to this website. Make others aware so they will be careful not to fall for these typr of schemes.

my letter came from HL FINANCIALS ,#1-647-878-2719 check for $4,577.93 i googled the company and it loooked ok,then i googled the name on the letter JAUN .O. WANE and i found this page.the postmark was from Canada.

My letter came from Kemwel Financials. Postmark from Canada with no return address. Legit looking check in the amount of $4,577.93, 647-836-8675 call back number, Jaun O Wane as the claim specialist. Googled Juan and I came to this page. These people need to be jailed.

By the way...the address on the check is 39 commercial street, portland, maine, 04112.

I received a letter dated November 14th 2008 stating I'm a lucky winner of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. It said how my name was selected through a computerized ballot drawn from Readers Digest, Publishers Clearing House, Online Sweepstakes, Internet games etc... so they got my name from me using the internet i guess.. Inside i got a check for 4,577.93 dollars and it gave me this number(1-647-878-2719)to reach Diana Wilson/Sean Peterson and a claim number and that I couldn't claim it until November 29th and the claim number is US/CA.ZDS17-00G. We went to the bank the lady said that she could cash it but I decided not to cash it until i called i got it on Friday and i called Monday and it rang no one answered it sound like a prank because its someone making a weird voice and den it says leave a message I left a message then called back and it then it said the mailbox was full so i guess a lot of people got these check. On the letter it was stamped from Canada and on the letter it says PO box Portland, Maine 04321. The claim specialist is Juan .O. Wane and when I googled his name it brought me to this site. I had a feeling it was too good to be true yea it's a scam

i to recieveed this check but i made the mistake of cashing it and and i some how was able to get $4500 out of the bank and i did mail the 3.8 % to the said tax agent only later to find out that the check came back as not able to recieve the funds. I am now $4500 in the red with the bank. First of all i don't know how the bank could have let me walk out with that kind of money without the check clearing first. I need Help!

I only had .77 in the bank and no food to feed my children and now i am in the red with the bank SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IM GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING INCLUDING MY CHILDREN IF I CAN NOT FEED THEM.

letter stated that i won $100,000 and i recieved a check for $4,577,93 and deposited it in my bank and somehow i was able to get $4,500 and i sent 3800 to the supposed tax agent. only to get call from bank saying the check in not varifiable. now i owe the bank the money and i am very poor. i only live on child support from my exhusband for our five young children. and the bank took what very little i had in the bank for the holidays for the children because i am $4500 in the hole with them and now we are going to go hungry on thanksgiving and the children will get nothing for christmas. i am 100% broke now because these monsters robbed a single mother with a lot of children one of them is handycaped. someone needs to catch this person, and bring them to justice, in the meantime me and my kids are alone in this world and we have no one to help. they took everything we had. please help.

Im sorry if i clicked bad rating on your and my post i thought that it ment the scam. obviousely im not to bright cuz i fell for this crappy scam and my whole life is in complete ruin from it. all these posts are good so i retract the bad rating i was just confused.

Ive got the same letter in the mail but the number was 1-647-878-3719. I talk to this Sean Peter who told me to cash the check and call back on monday. Now i cant get a answer. I took it to the bank this morning and they have it on hold.Thank god. Who ever is doing this to people needs to stop cause times are hard enough right now. Claim Specialist was Jaun .O. Wane. It was to good to be true.

I too got this check $4,577.93. (Juan O. Wane ).We started an accounted because Sean Peters the so called claims specialist said that the check had been activated,as the the letter had instructed to do.And that we should call back too get further instructions for the rest of the &100,000.00.The bank also has a hold on the check....Address Portland Maine ,Key Bank ,Real address, Real bank, Beware !!!!!!! Take care everyone.... This is very mean of these people !!!! J.A.S.

i received a check in the mail today for 4,588.93 saying that i had won 100.000.00 and that was kinda strange to me but the check looked so real i held it up to the light saw the watr marks that checks have on them so i took it to the bank just to check it out who knows maybe i di get lucky so i thought well wen i got to the bank the teller looked at the check she herself thought it was fine she said to me we have to hold this check for 5 days but i will give you the first 100.00 so i took it but i got home and it just didnt sit right with me so i googled every thing seemed lujit to me i couldnt figure out wat could the scam be then i googled the name juan o wane and it brought me to this site i owe the bank 100.00 im sure wen it comes back funds not available thank god the bank put it on hold.....

you need to keep calling and he will eventually answer. he will tell you that his supervisor with the name Frank osborne will return your call and low and behold you will not get a call back. i have already gone to the CIA, the Post office fraud commission, as well as the local police and filed claims to stop him and his partner. he will tell you to send the 3.8 % of the100,000 to a woman named Jenny Nanne at 270 madison ave in ny ny. that is his acomplice. she picks up the money and you never here from them again . and even if you don't send him  $$$. do not deposit the check cuz then he will get  your bank info and steal your id. my family is in complete ruin cuz of this and no one can get my $$ back. I now owe the bank 4500 dollars and i am just a poor single mom with six kids. and now those poor kids don't even have food in the fridge or any holiday to have cuz the bank took whatever funds i had in there to pay for the 4500. but don't worry bout us we have god and each other and that is all we will ever need. oh by the way. i have made it my full time job to get mr sean peter and his acommplice, and i will get them for what they have done.

I go it.  Im kinda of mad that someone would be dumb emough to mess with people like this.

I got a letter from "Gotcha Financials" -A division of G.P.C. INC 543 91st Ave NE Unit F Everett, WA 97865 phone # (647)890-3656 (which I find is in Canada). There was a check for $4,755.35 enclosed stating it was 3.8% goverment recommended taxes on your winnings. Also It said my name was randomly chosen through a computerized ballot as a winner of the FOURTH QUARTER of 2008 Sweepstakes drawing. I called them right away to find out what the catch was, and got a very rude lady on the phone that answered. I told her about the letter and she rudly asked for my claim number. I gave it to her & she put me on hold for 5 minutes. She got back on the phone to tell me she activated my check & I could cash it. Then she went through this scripted congradulations in a very rude voice & told me to call them after the check was deposited so they could give me some tax information. After she was done I asked "is this check real?" She responded "It is 100% real". I told her I've been scamed before, & she was silent on the other end, then I said O.K. I'll call tommarow. No response just silence on the other end. I hung up and stupid me was excited. I took the check to my bank, & had the manager look at the letter & check. He said it was probably a scam, & not to deposit the check, but to call them back & tell them I did. I will call them tommarow to see what they say. The bank manager said if they ask me to send money, or anything like that then I would know if it's a scam. I AM SO PISSED AFTER COMING TO THIS WEB SIGHT TO FIND THIS IS ANOTHER SCAM! I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO BUST THESE PEOPLE. IN A TIME OF RESESSION, & HOLIDAYS, HOW THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THIS? I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GOT SCREWED BY THESE PEOPLE.

True, these people are really bad and should go to jail for it. I also received the letter and knew it was a scam since I opened it. It came from Gotcha Financials in Canada no return address.

I am so angery about this! I am working on bringing these criminals down. I will keep everyone posted on what happens. Has anyone had any success in getting there money back, or getting help from authorities? We got to find a way to bust these animals!
