Ms malie just call me. caller id came up 0() I told her I given my letter to the FBI she hung up.... ;(
so sad i was try to pick her brain a bit, see how good a scammer they are..

I received a letter and check in the mail today 3/22/2011 from Plusnet A Financial express Co.  The name on the check is Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, One Health Plaza, East Hanover, NJ  07936.
I knew it had to be a scam but I did a search anyway and pulled up this site.  I do feel sorry for those that fall for this.  The check looks so real.

This is crazy! I just received a lettter dated 3/18/11.  What a scam.  Tax officer is Mrs. Sarah Jane of the UK and phone # is now 866-814-8499.

I received one of these letters dated March 15, 2011, check #20445351, Claim #PL9269, stating that an entry slip with serial #7482535BH attached to my name drew the lucky winning number 02--9-20-38-48 and was entitled to a guaranteed $50,000.00, certified check, which would be delivered to me by courier company Fed Ex or Ups. The check was for $2,900.00 and stated that $1,950.00 was due to a Tax Clearance Fee. Since the draw was held in the United Kingdom , it stated that I should contact Mr. Marvin Andeson or Ms. Malie Frank at number 866-623-9640. The letter was signed by Mrs. Betty McKenzie, Promotion Manager. The Tax Officer, was stated as Sarah Jane and gave the address in the UK. Advised that I should send $1,950.00 via Western Union or Money Gram International Money Transfer.

The caption of the letter was PLUSNET, a Financial Express Company, P.O. Box 45, Amirillo, TX 79105.

I did not enter any drawings. This can only be a scam. I then googled this PLUSNET as PLUSNET scam and this website prompted. I have turned this letter and this check over to the Sheriff of Wayne County, Tennessee. The FBI should get involved as this is Mail Fraud.

Update on the same scam:

Process is the same , just different numbers. Ms. Malie Frank telephonre no. 855-581-1957, PLUSNET is listed at 199 Church St., New York, NY.among others.

The troubling thing is it hasn't been shut down after several years of operation. The letter was post marked in England. Plusnet's image isn't helped by this. Maybe they will persue some remedial action.

Just got the same letter.  Where can I send it to report it?  Who should know about this?  Even though I have the foresight to look into this, I know there are many people out there who don't know better and are taken advantage of.

I also received the letter but i actually made the mistake of changing the check and send the money i didn't have the way of checking cause i don't have a computer at home know i don't know what to do cause my account is frozen help me out can any one give me the phone numbers to call to to report this scam.

Got a Letter from Plusnet with a check asking me to contact Marvin Anderson or Malie Frank with a large check! The check does not have a water mark and this is a scam. The new number they have now is 855-581-1957!! SCAM!!!

Got same check, said from a Walmart drawing.  LMAO!
Would love to figure out a way to get this cash from them, teach them a lesson! Hmm...

Im from nj and i recieved the same thing thanks to the people who opened this site because i almost fell for it..... DO NOT CASH IN THIS CHECK IT IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! IM GONNA PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO RECIEVE THIS LETTER SO THEY CAN DO THE SAME THING THAT I DID ... LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE..  THIS IS A SHAME..... THEESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! This letter is from 48 burney street london uk se10 8ex pls do not call the number they tell you or855-581-1957 because they are always changing #s to drag someone in to their traps... do not contact anyone they say to contact... rip and tear the check as it can get u in serious trouble..

Yes, I receiv ed one too.  My check was signed by Lyndon B Johnson!  was yours?

I received a check in the amount of $2950 written on the account of Tyco International, Inc. with a letter stating I had won some drawing for shopping at Walmart.  Same guy with the heavy accent telling me to call back after I deposited the check.  Ha.  Thanks for confirming what I suspected!

I just received the letter and check today same as everyone else this site is a beautiful thing I was already aware of the scam because my mother-in-law receive the same check under simular circumstances about 2/3 yrs. ago every couple of yrs. when the heat is off they try it again the names are changed but the game remains the same if your deposit this check you will be charged the returned check fee in addition to possible fraud charges what ever you do please don't send this company any money I repeat this is a scam scam scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received one today but the number listed was for Mr. Kevin Smith or Martha Nichols at 1-866-332-5141

I received a PLUSNET scam today in the mail.. Saying I won 50,000$, and that I needed to pay a tax fee of 1950.00. They sent me a check of 2950.00 to compensate for these tax fees. The phone number has changed and is now:

************ 855-581-1957 ***************

The names haven't changed... I was told to contact Mr. Marvin Anderson, or Ms. Malie Frank. I called and spoke with Regions Bank (The name of the bank authorizing the check), The numbers used in the check are all wrong. The Check numbers don't match and they don't participate in any kind of sweepstakes like this. My residency is listed in Youngstown, OH. Even though I live in San Diego, CA

To add on to this... I'll be giving this my JAG officers ASAP. That should speed up the process on getting them. The last scam that hit Naval Sailors was met with extreme prejudice. :)

I received the same letter, same names, same check amount, same tax payment amount etc.  The bank on the check was Citibank Delaware.  I googled the routing number and the bank name and address are legitimate. I called the bank and they said that there is a privacy block on the account, so no information could be given about the account.  The phone # was changed to 835-222-4455, but names are the same as others have posted.  Even the "lucky winning number of 02-09-20-38-48" was the same as posted above.  It looks like these people have been attempting this scam for some time now.
My letter was from Plusnet a Financial Express Company and the address was 2500 S. Fifth Ave., Pocatello, ID, 83204.

Just received a check for $2,950.00 today with the same names and the same scam ($1,950.00 to be paid for a tax clearance fee via western union money transfer). The letterhead is from "PLUSNET", the check is issued by St J Apartments LP, Little Rock, AR and the bank it would be drawn from is Regions Bank, also in Little Rock. The postage on the envelope appears to be British and was mailed on the 3rd of May but the letter is dated may 31st. This is a scam and needs to be stopped. Any suggestions as to what we should do?
Will call the BBB on Monday for a start.

I just got a check for 4950. from Bristol-Meyers Squibb... same deal as below.  I called the Secret Service, because, unbeknownst to me, they don't just protect the President, but they investigate financial crimes, as well.  Because this is out of the country, there isn't much they can do.

This was certainly more creative than most of these scams.
