:)    mine is exactly like yours.

Also received letter from PLUSNET  with check for $3,250 to pay taxes on 50,00 dollars i won in UK dont pay UK taxes had return phone number 855-702-4986 is a scam

I got the letter today, but it was addressed to my cousin who does not live with me, she lives in another city.  This is shame.  It was from PlusNet with Betty McKenzie, Promotion Manager.  The name on the check is Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.  Im sure respectable companies are not involved  with these scams.  Why cant this  be stopped.

I got the same one today From Plusnet the # is 855-702-4986 with Mrs Betty McKenzie as the promotion manager. Its for $3250 and needs me to send $1950 of it back..We really need to set this crooks up some how...Im in NC and if anyone comes up with a Idea post it..Lets stop this...

Got a similar letter and ch#64591745  citibank N.A One Penns Way New Castle DE 19720, Amt $3250 dated 10/31/11.  Looks very real.  Thought about taking it to the police.  Figured it was a scam, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is."  glad I found this site.

Hope this information is helpfun to someone.  IT IS DEFINITELY A SCAM!!!!!!

Just got one like yours but with a PLUSNET address in Little Rock, AR.  These people are unbelievable and our government apparently can not do a thing about this since this is coming from outside the US....should just nuke'em out of the face of the earth....lol

Received the same letter today. From Citi Financial for a "Consumer Promotion" the sum of $50,000. SCAM all the way. The scam artist sent two letters to me both saying a check was enclosed. One letter had a check and the other letter did not. Both letters are saying the same things but they used different letter heads on each letter. Both with the same date. They also sent to my parents house which I have not lived at for 10 years. Scam. Don't cash the check.

I received this scam letter yesterday and knew it was too good to be true. I have to admit my  disappointment as I could really use some serious cash.  Anyway, it's truly troubling to discover that this scam has been alive and well for years.  Only the names and phone numbers have changed to protect the predators.  

The check I received was for the amount of $3250, dated 01/03/2012. It was drawn on the Bank of Fayetteville, One South Block Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 (Check#14654  Bank Account# 014654 082901619 700218176).  It also list BREWSKIS INC, 408 West Dickson, Fayetteville, AR.  Its disturbing that both of these are legitmate business and addresses .. and this is a very real looking check.  I will notify them, the Postal Service and my local authorities to this scam.  I hope the scum responsible for this scam get what they deserve (and I don't mean a Western Union Money Transfer).  

This what I received, apparently their latest version:

DEAR MROG, Thank-you so very much for posting the information about the scam letter as i got mine today 1/6/2012 it was a letter from CITI FINANCIAL cash prize in the amount of $3,250.00 with a promise of $ 50,000.00 (certified check) from tax officer Mrs. Lorna Jones and to contact the payment handling officers. Mr.Marvin Anderson or Ms. Malie Frank 1-866-417-8360 Signed by Mrs.Betty Mckenzie.                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sincerly  Debby

I also received the scam my information was identical to DEBBY  it was a letter from CITI FINANCIAL cash prize in the amount of $3,250.00 with a promise of $ 50,000.00 (certified check) from tax officer Mrs. Lorna Jones and to contact the payment handling officers. Mr.Marvin Anderson or Ms. Malie Frank 1-866-417-8360 Signed by Mrs.Betty Mckenzie.         I Mine was dated 4th Jan 2012.    I am absolutely sad that a scam as dangerous as this is still circulating.  It makes me wonder if there are people doing the same thing from here to the UK?  I think our Government should do something !!!!!!  I noticed that the first post was made in 2010!!!!!!  Why is this still happening?     The information is almost identical on all the scams!  This is rediculous! We are the lucky ones who did'nt fall for the scam but just imagine how many hopefull's did.  You know someone is falling for this crap or they wound'nt be trying to do it!  They are probably so rich by now that they could pay off the authorities wherever they are caught.    N E Way Im calling channel 8 news.

My parents recieved a check in the amount of $2950...same basic information.  Enclosed is a check for $2950 which is part of your prize.  This amount will enable you to offset the statutory Non British Resident tax payment of $1950.  The tax is payable to your assigned British Tax officer as stated below:  It then gives 2 names and a contact at a "yahoo.com" e-mail address!  WOW are they kidding?  It is pretty sad that there are people  out there that like to prey on the elderly!  
The check certainly looks legitimate...however there were typographical errors in the letter, the phone numbers were not traceable...therefore only leaving you with the option to mail the yahoo account.

I received a check too, and after thinking about it, I did deposit it. Dumb, yeah? But the funny thing is, I am almost broke right now. So, hardly any $$ in the account anyway. It's a good thing I never called that Marvin back; I have been thinking this just smells kind of off, you know? So, I am going to wait a couple of days and then go to my bank and ask them to put an alert on my account. If my account needs closing, I can handle that too. I've moved a few months ago, so no biggie.
I figure if the check is bad, it's no sweat off my back. The check was sent to a previous address anyway, and they won't get no $1950.00 from me, no matter how much they want it. It comes to mind that maybe the FBI and Interpol ought to get involved and try to nab this jerks!

i got a similar letter from ITA Lisa Limited, says that I am one of the winners in the'' European & North America Consumer reward promotion draw''. I called 1866 427 8214 and a guy with a really bad accent said that I should be happy,  as soon as I will deposit the check (2950$)  they will send me 50,000$. I asked where is that phone no. and he said that is a company in Florida, but the address on the check is in Delaware,...... WILLMALTON.... I never heard about this city before. This can't be real, right? This is a HUGE SCAM. Be careful people!!!

received same letter today Cash prize
Check was from Novartis Pharmacueticals Corp.
3250 was amount of check
Mrs. Lucy Jones was tax officer and amount was 1950.

Check looks awful real!
An Entry slip with my serial number was drawn

Received a check for $3250 from Citi Financial a Financial Express Company P.O. Box 840769 Houston Tx 77284. Envelope has no return address but the postage was from overseas (UK)  I was supposed to have won in the "Consumar promotion Sweepstakes drawing" organized for all customers of the participated retail stores in the US and Britain such as Wal-Mart, Sears, ASDA, Walgreens and Staples. The issuer of the check is Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and the check was drawn at JP Morgan Chase Bank out of Syracuse, NY. I was suppose to return $1950 for tax clearance fee to Mrs. Lucy Jones of 10 Miles Drive London United Kingdom SE28 0NE. Payment Handling Officers are Mr. Marvin Anderson or Ms. Malie Frank 866-542-5669 or UK office 011447436301946 between the hours of 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Saturday (Pacific Standard Time). Check was signed bby a Mrs. Betty Mckenzie (Promotion Manager). How sad :(, I really need the money for a much needed operation but after reading from this site, I now know that this is too good to be true. I was going to the bank tomorrow and cash the check but after reading from this site that I can be prosecuted for passing bad check, changed my mind from cashing it but I will definitely report them to the respective agencies both here in US and UK.

to me_so sad, so the bank honored the check when you deposited it in your account? So is the money still in your account? What happened to you? I mean did you get prosecuted for passing a bad check?

My letter was from Sandalwood Health, Inc. at 6200 Barrow Rd., Little Rock, AR 72204 with telephone no 1-866-427-8214.  The check amount is $4450.00, part payment of $50,000.00.  They wanted a "tax" payment of $1350.00 and advised to contact the claims representative Richard Smith or Joy Lee on tel no 1-866-427-8214 or 01144-744-042-5483 for instructions. The "tax officer" listed is Mrs. Favour Howells at 332 Mare Street, E8 1HY, London, United Kingdom.  The CEO is listed as Mrs. Ruth Garfield.  I was supposedly a winner in the European & North America Consumer Reward Promotion Draw organized for customers of Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Safeway & ASDA.  Thank God for Clark Howard - did not even waste my time with this!

Got one also dated Feb. 14, 2012, the letter has Citi
Financial on top  as "letterhead" and check says its from Ita Lisa Limited. And who wouldve guessed, from Betty McKenzie and her officers Marvin Anderson & Malie Frank & Lucy Jones. To begin with, I live in the United States, not just United State. And why would I have to call about British taxes on Pacific time? Sad to think that these people might be getting over on some when clearly they are not very bright! Oh, the number I was given was 1-866-542-5669.

I got a letter from European & North America Consumer Reward Promotion Draw which is a big ass lie!!! Do not put this money in your bank account when you send them the money for the taxes on it, they will make a profit off of you.. I report it to the banks and Walmart, and I'm going to the police station in the morning...
