I got one today from Lisa Walker only from Florida.  Bank of NY Mellon Signature doesn't match the sender.

I received the same scam letter today.
Top of check says Walgreens
The Northern Trust Company payable through Northern Trust Company
Send money via Western Union or Money Gram to Mrs. Grace Allen in London
Contact: Mr. Marvin Anderson or Linda Robinson

Got letter too, same thing, had to call 877 284 1027, got some guy with English accent, said his name was Marvin Anderson, said to call back in morning and ask for Linda Roberson.  He told me to deposit the check. After check cleared have to send $1920 to United Kingdon Tax Officer Mrs. Joy Wilson, 9 Wilton Rd, London, United Kingdom SWIV IAN.  He said I won a Walmart promotion. Want a waste of time, don't these people have any thing better to do?  I am annoyed.

I recieved a check in the mail for $3100. They are also asking me to send $1950 to offset the statutory Non British Reisdent tax payment through Western Union Money Transfer. The check is from Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance.  The claims representatives are: Mr. Kevin Oliver or Mather James at 18667788437. I knew this was a scam the moment I read the letter. Will take it to my back so they can track where it originated from. There are lots of scammer out there so don't get trapped.

My "check" came from "Texas Security General Insurance Agency, Inc," drawn on "Frost National Bank" with a call-back number of 877-284-1027. (Note to scammers: By federal law, there are no "National Banks" in the US anymore.) HA!

I received a check $3100 today from Pinnacle Financial Services as part payment of my prize, that will enable to offset the statutory Non British Resident tax payment of $1,950 through Western Union Money or MoneyGram.

I received a letter with no return address, post marked Royal Mail, which stated I had won $50,000 in the "Consumer Promotion Draw" for customers of Novartis, Walgreens, Safeway, Sears, and Staples.    I also received a check for $2950.00 to cover a Tax Clearance Fee (Non Residents), of which $1920.00, was to be paid to the British tax officer, Mrs. Tracy Morgan, 6 Clendon Way, London United kingdom.   The check was issued by Texas Security General Insurance Agency, Inc, (TSGIA), written on Frost National Bank, San Antonio, Texas 78296.  I was advised to contact Ms. Linda Robinson or Mr. Paul Harrison. at 877 284-1027, for instructions on my payment.    I looked up the contact information for the TSGIA and found their contact information and their personnel listing.   The phone numbers and personnel information listed did not match those listed in the letter.   I will be contacting theTSGIA tomorrow to enlighten them. Next step, contacting the US Postal Service.

I just got one of these letters today. Noted I was one of the winners in the "Consumer Promotion Draw" for all customers of Novartis, Walgreens, Safeway, Sears and Staples. I 'won' $50,000 and they included the check for $1,920.00 because the draw was held in the UK. Supposed to contact Mrs. Tracy Morgan at 877-284-1027. Think they could use better paper...

I also received a check $3250 today from MARRIOT, INC  as part payment of my prize, that will enable to offset the statutory Non British Resident tax payment of $1,920 through Western Union Money or MoneyGram. Same person who said to be a claim representative Ms. Linda Robinson or Mr. Paul Harrison with a contact number 1-877-284-1027

I recieved a letter in the mail yesterday from citi financial, notice the space in the name? They are now based in S A Texas. Their amount is for  $50,000.00 with a check (pretty real looking) for 3,000.00 to pay your taxes.I contacted the attorney general of my state and local law enforcement in hopes to catch the scum when I call them back today.

They are at it again my letter is dated 12/24/12 contact number was 877-284-1027, Paul Harrison or Linda Robinson.  My prize was only stated as being 50,000.  Too good to be true?  Me thinks yes.  Good lesson for my kids though. Watch your back - always.

I got the same letter. I was skeptical but wanted to believe it was true.I called the insurance company that the check was written from and although the lady was unnecessarily rude she told me it was a scam. Bummer as I could really use the money. I called the foreign guy back and told him I had called the company. He cut my rant short and hung up really quickly. People like this are the scum of the earth.

Wife just received the same scam as the above folks. We are in the Pittsburgh area. Most of the details are the same with varying Tax Officers, check amount, and bank. Will report this to the Postal Service and also contact local/state authorities so they can understand the extent of this scam.

Got a similar letter/check today, dated 3/15/13, thought it was legit at first and then started investigating online.  Glad I found your posts.  Mine was from CITI Financial as well, $3,950.00, $1,920.00 for the tax clearance fee.  Yes, similar names on the letter - contacts Linda Robinson or Paul Harrison 866-206-9301, tax officer Victoria Davis.  Called the number and its not in-service.  Even the wrong number operator sounds British.  States that the drawing was held in the U.K.
Bummer this is a scam.  I could really...use the money right now.   So...nobody has tried to cash one???

If you get a check, call the bank--mine said Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware Wilmington, Delaware, DE. Check out the account #.

Yup! Yup! Yup! Always do your research. According to the  internet, I found out that Citi Financial NJ, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and the Deutsche Bank Trust, DE. are all legitimate institutions.  The check even includes this banks correct routing number.  I then called the number and spoke to a person stating they were Paul Anderson. This was when my "flags" ran up the mast: an Indian accent with an English last name and a signature that did not match it's printed version. If you are reading this, then you have trusted your instincts.
