905-598-2012

Got a letter from PrimeMarketing at 589 Bridgewood St Pickering, ON, M1H j6F with this phone number and fas 206-600-4617 with Award Claim notification saying this was my final notice and that they were with consumer rewards program and I was to recieve a lump sum payout in $8000.  Call Claims Agent Christina Siemens at 1-905-598-2012 as soon as you recieve this notice for further instructions.  They enclosed a check for 985.12.  For tax amount of $810 that would be required before lump sum would be sent to me.  Letter signed by Lloyd Formerly Promotions manager.  The check is a cashiers check, wouldn't they lose money and they can't track that to scam on anything.  Does anyone know anything about this or is it a SCAM???  I called the 2012 number and she didn't answer with the business name just hello and she said I was entered by shopping at one of the stores at the bottom the letter or using my visa or MC.  I called Walmart and they said it was a scam because they are not part of the Consumber rewards program.  Still confused.  Anybody???

Got the same scam letter from Prime Marketing

Did you check this out?  Did you cash the check?  What other information do you have.  I looked on Snoops and they have not heard of this as a scam?  I don't want to cash the check until I know it is legal.

I just received the same exact letter and check amount. It is a scam. Take it to your bank and ask them to verify if it is legit. DO NOT deposit into your account. You can be held liable even if you are the victim of the scam. If you call the Claims Agent, they will probably ask you for your account number in order to deposit the rest of your "winnings" and that is how they can take money from you. DO NOT give any personal information to them! After the bank tells you it is a scam, take it to the police.

Did you take this to the bank and verify that it was a scam or are you assuming it is?  I just received the same letter.  I'm wondering if we took the cashier's checks to a check cashing place (not our bank) and got them cashed they wouldn't have our bank information, so they couldn't access our accounts?  Just a thought. Then the joke would be on them :D

I Just got the same letter.

There must be a lot of money behind them.

just got the same letter did anyone cash it

im about to cash it. i will let yall know if it works out. but im keeping the 985.12

Did you get the cash?

no it was a scam. the check was counterfeit. do not cash it . they will arrest you on the spot especially at a bank

they didnt arrest me. they let me go. thank the lord

just got the same letter with that sme info about 8000.00 and 985.12 glad i googled it wanted to make sure that this was not a scam, apparently it is. is there anything we can do about this.

Thanks to all of you, you saved me from a headache, got same letter same person Barbra Thompson, ahhh I guess I'm not getting my money.. lol

I got a letter in the mail as well addressed to my husband. I am glad I googled it and found all this information. This is terrible and they should get arrested for doing this...I will take to the bank and report it. Thank you.

I had recieved this same letter from Prime Marketing Strategies in Pickering Ontario. If it looks to good to be true, it usually is. I recieved a cashiers check for the amount of $985.12. The letter stated that I would need to pay the sum of $820.00 US. I spent two days tring to call the number on the letter and no one would answer. I did alittle digging. On the check itself there is printed the bank that it is from. BBVA Compass bank in birmingham alabama 35233. There was no street address included. I tracked down the Compass bank in alabama and called them. They stated that the check was fraudulent and to not deposite the check into my account. They also stated that there had been many other people who had called them about this. So, if you recieve this check/letter, its bunk.

I also received the same kind of letter, it is a SCAM....if you end up depositing it in the bank or if you cash it in a check cashing place, you will still end up paying at the end, and will face legal situation...do not fall for it, it is a total scam. I have called the bank of issuance on the cashier's check,as well as took it to my bank for verification, it is a FAKE!!! I did not get arrested, but I have given the letter with the check to the local authorities...

I already cashed the check b 4 finding this site. I call my bank and they said that if the check is not valid that they will dedeuct the funs from my acc. And returnd me the check. So if you. Deposit it. DON'T TOUCH THE FUNDS until the bank says it cleared or that it was no good. I'm guessing that's the scam bad check in then you give them a good check and then your S.O.L anymore info would be great. And thanks for the heads up

I just got the same scam letter from PrimeMarketing with phone of 905-598-2429 from Lloyd formerly-promotion manager ...yeah right!! I figured this to be a scam as soon as I read the letter.
I will give this to the local authorities to review.
Thanks again for your info as well all of you on this site this will keep the scam artist away from all of us hopefully!!

My bank said that this is a scam! I cashed the check & they said that they would it under a fraud alert so that it can be spotted by the Fed. Worse case, they'll just withdraw the funds if it doesn't clear after 7-10 days. I wouldn't send this company anything.

God Bless

I guess we are a member of this club too. We also received a letter just like all of you.  So we googled to name and address of the company. Thank all of you for posting your comments. We are turning in the letter along with the check to the authorities..
