I just received a letter from Plusnet and a check for 3980.00 from Walgreens. I took mine down the road to my nearest Walgreens Pharmacy. The check looked so real it would have fooled the manager had the letter not came with it. I am about to call my local news station and will be calling Walgreens corporate office in the morning. I'm sure it's a scam and I hope these people get caught soon.

Letter came from a Deerfield, Illinois addresss with phone number 855-222-4455 and lucky winning number was 02-09-20-38-48.  The same thick accented gentleman answered the phone when I called.

I got the same letter and checked the check cleared when he called to verify the funds so it was cashed. I sent the money to Mrs. Anna Jones Western Union money transfer hoping to get my big winning the next day they told me to call in the morning to confirm my money from UPS/Fed Ex so I called the next morning and they said that they ran into a problem with the delivery of my funds since it coming from Canada I would have to pay 1400 dollar to get a clearance to send such a large amount of money (50,000) because of the terrorists threats I need to pay that amount to get my winnings cleared to be able to send. I told them that I am not sending anything and this is a scam. He tried to reassure me that they were real. He said that he talked to his boss and she said that they simply deduct the 1400 from my winning and send me the remaining of my winnings. I am still waiting on that check I will keep you posted on what happens next. Thanks for all your posting!!! The number that's on the letter is 1855-222-4455

Hello almost scammed, Nothing is free I would advise all who get the fake checks to contact the FBI,CIA, and your local United States Postal Service, This falls under postal fraud. You should also go to the local State Police post and file a report with them, copy all info for your records and turn over the envelope-letter and check to the State Poliece. You have now done your part.... Freedom is not FREE!!

Received the same letter as you did Pamela with the same winning serial number . What all you going to do with all yours and my winning LOL this is ridulous .They should be  prosecuted.
.

I got the letter this week.  So many things didn't add up.  The letter said the "DRAW" was held in the United Kingdom.  The only thing that looked like it was outside the US was the stamp on the envelope and the address of the "Tax Officer".  The letter was from PLUSHNET in Il., the check was written from Avents Bio-Services, Inc. in Il but the letter directed me to call the Payment Handling Officers (Mr Marvin Anderson or Ms Malie Frank (855-222-4455) during Pacific Standard Time.

Yep, it was too good to be true.  It's unfortunate that some people think they have the right to steal from those of us that go to work everyday, pay taxes and simply try to live right.  Their day will come!

I RECEIVED THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY WITH A CHECK FOR $2,950.00 FROM Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company, 2500 South Fifth Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83204.  The check also has on it "Citibank Delaware, A subsidiary of Citicorp,, One Penns Way, New Castle DE 19720.

The letter is from PLUSNET, a Financial Express company, the same address as is on the check.

THIS SCAM WAS JUST RECENTLY SHOWN ON 60 MINUTES.  I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT.

Same song - 200th verse:

I've had my letter for about a month now, but it's the same thing.

The check:

dated 7/25/2011 for $2950 from Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company, 2500 South Fifth Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83204.  Citibank Delaware, A Subsidary of Citicorp., One Penns Way, New Castle, DE 19720.

The letter:

PLUSNET (with 'Confidential. Security Level 2' above the PLUSNET and on the right side of the page)
a Financial Express company (note the lower case 'c')
2500 South Fifth Avenue
Pocatello, ID 83204
Tel.  855-222-4455

CLAIM NUMBER:  AC95096

CASH PRICE (sic) NOTIFICATION:

We are pleased to advise that you are one of the winners in the "CONSUMER PROMOTION SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING" organized for all customers of the participated (sic) retail stores in the United State (sic) and Britain.  The selected stores includes (sic):  Wal-Mart, Sears, ASDA, Walgreens, Staples and Safeway.

An ENTRY SLIP, with serial number 92530BH, attached to your name drew the lucky winning number:  02-09-20-38-48.  You are entitled to a guaranteed sum of $50,000.00 (Certified check), which will be delivered to you, (sic - why the comma I do not know) by a Courier Company (FedEx or Ups).

Enclosed is a check of (sic - here we usually say 'check for') $2950.00, deducted from your prize, this is for your tax payment of $1950.00 for the Tax Clearance Fee (Non Residents), because this DRAW was held in the UNITED KINGDOM. The tax is payable to the Revenue Department through your assigned British tax officer as stated below:

Tax Officer:

Ms. Tracy Jones
40 Miles drive (sic), London
United Kingdom  SE28 0NE.

Tax Amount:  $1950.00

Method of Payment:  Western Union Money Transfer

You are therefore advised to contact your Payment Handling Officers:  Mr. Marvin Anderson or Ms. Malie Frank on Tel:  855-222-4455 between 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday (Pacific Standard Time) for instructions on your payment.

Do not act on this letter until you speak with your Payment Handling Officer.

Yours Sincerely (sic - this time it's an upper case 'S'):

Mrs. Lola Grace (the scanned signature says something, but it does not say 'Lola Grace')
(Promotion Manager)

And the envelope it came in bears no return address (surprise, surprise) and what appears to be a bulk mail type of stamp with 'AIR MAIL' and 'PAR AVION' 'ROYAL MAIL' 'POSTAGE PAID GB HQ 194'.

This is the whole thing.  I'm going to make copies of all of it and trot over to the post office and the police station with it as well as file every complaint and report that I can.  Oh, and I got another similar letter just a few days before this one purporting to be from Portugal and awarding me the princely sum of €825,000.00 (EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND EUROS ONLY).  And get this:  the 'registered claims agent' is ALLIANCE GRUPO SEGUROS S.A. with an email address of alliancegruposeguro@yahoo.com.  Apparently they think we're all a bunch of yahoos here.

This posting has nothing to do with the phone number 866-334-6321, but I'll be looking out for it.  I have a document on my desktop called DNA (Do Not Answer) which is approaching 5 pages long with a table documenting all the unwanted/harassment/annoyance calls I get daily.  The national Do Not Call registry is a joke - it's pointless to list your number.  Caller ID and Call Rejection service are your best defenses.

This scam is still going strong.I have a letter and check dated 18th July,2011.Paula I agree with all the details in your email but now the names have changed.Officer:Cara Jones 49 miles Drive,London United Kingdom.SE28 One. Promotion Manager:Lola Grace(signature signed is not this name).Payment Handling Officers:Marvin Anderson or Malie Frank new contact number is 855-222-4455 and Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company 2500 South Fifth avenue,Pocatello,ID,83204 is sender of check with same address as PLUSNET a Financial Express company on letter. I looked on Yellow Pages and located Farmers Insurance @2520 S 5th ave,Pocatello,ID,83204 and was told to destroy check-do not deposit into your checking acct-this is a fraud and they have received several calls regarding these checks.
I have been laid-off for 18 months and to received disconnection notices , threats to repossess  and eviction notices constantly- really made this tempting and to think that I thought those prayers for a job/financial help had been heard and received.BE ALERT-BE SMART

What happens if you deposit their check and never send them any money ?

I just received one of the same and strange gifts, just when it was needed, believing it was a gift from my Creature, good thing I went to the internet and seen where others were offer money that they never entered into a contest to receive, how strange can that be, makes you wonder? I have been able to get by with what I've been able to work for and my Creature will continue to bless me with wealth/health to get through the tough times. Keep your guards up, watch out for the devil and his army!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a check in the mail today for $3,250.00 from Plusnet.. but the check says Continuum Crew, LLC.. The bank is City National Bank from San Fran.. My tax officer is Sarah Jones (lots of Jones' out there, lol) My tax amount I have to pay is $1,950.00.. See, they want us to deposit this check, which is NOT real.. but we should send this Sarah Jones or whoever Jones the "tax" money.. and they get to keep the "tax" money free and clear while we get nailed for fraud!  Gotta love this [***].. And the guy I spoke to on the phone was NOT American nor from the UK.. He was in fact from India or somewhere in the middle East.. But hey, it was a nice gesture!
