To all the people who unfortunately got caught up in this scam, thank you for telling your story. I just hope we can get more information- such as addresses or phone number on how to get to these people and have them prosecuted.

As a single, unemployed mother of two, it is very disheartening to receive this letter in the mail. I struggle day-to-day to make sure my kids' needs are met, and with the only income coming from SSI and Child support that is not always there, I cannot say how heartbroken I am. I think these people should be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law, and made to give the money they promised. My kids could use some clothes and groceries with this money. I hope they pay dearly for this.

I received a letter post marked from Canada Postes the letter is from New York, this address heading on this letter is C.C.L 50 Central Avenue Tappan, NY 1099 as for me I am not sure of this place but I can look up on computer, the date on letter is 10/11/2011 the claim # BFH/[protected] PN2 . I called and talked to this so call, Mr.Ray Martins he said to me congratulations you were picked from the computers there were a few winners and I was one of them the check just came because I had PO box it took a while for me to get this letter and the check this check is drawn from PNC it has under the Logan Wealth Management and this check has the sensitive sealed that works with the touch of finger, also have the water marks and says 13 security features the check looks legit to me but, the bank knows, so the check also have my name with PO box address. I called the number which I think they have a few numbers to scam with [protected] Mr. Ray Martins is the name he told me, he said with this check this was part of the winnings I so call supposed to have won 50, 000. also and he send part of payment and asked me how I wanted the rest, in what form I told him. Mr. Ray Martins said this was real he said he worked for the company for many years, he said yes this is real! I was not excited because I felt it was a scam because this happen a few years ago to me, I called and called and no answer, . There should be a good law for these people making other hard working people feel a lot of disappointment knowing they are being had God will punishment these people in the worse kind of way! God sees and knows all they will get there reward for doing this to people that really need money such as myself!

I also received the exact same "AWARD COMPENSATION LOTTERY" claim letter with a check for $3750. The check looks legit but the letter says to call "Mr Ray Martins @ [protected]. The letter is also signed by "Brandy Ferguson". The envelope has "Walmart Canada Financial Services" in the return address on the envelope with the Walmart logo. Looks blurry and copied though which was my first clue of a scam. Using the word "lottery" also was a clue based on previous knowledge of this type of scam via emails. Thank God I did not respond and please, I suggest anyone to do the same. They need to be reported to the authorities. These scammers are getting more and more clever and cause major problems for innocent people. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS...

October 3rd 2001. Funny, a client of mine just received the exact same letter with the same claim numbers and Mr. Ray Martin etc. Also for the exact same amount, when I called Mr. Martin and told him who I was, he acted like he was having phone problems, hung up and would not answer when I called back. From the looks of these postings, these folks have been at this for way too long. My hope is that someone catches them and brings them to justice. I also phoned the Huntington National Bank, who confirmed that it was fraud. Yuba City, CA.

Oct 1, 2011 I just received a check for the 'customers compensation lottery' for $3750.00 --
Unibank for savings In Whitinsville, MA 55-7237/2113. Dated 09-22-2011.
The claim number is #:BFH/[protected] UB. It says I won $50.000. WOW and for this they only want $2, 500.00. Mr PAY MARTINS [protected] will give me further instructions on how to claim my prize
On the next line it again stated that the "(CLAIMS/ DISBURSEMENT AGENT) MR RAY...at the same address. (strange they left offf his last name). But how nice it was signed by the lovely
BRANDY FERGUSON promotion manager. Even has the offical bar code on the bottom of the letter.
What really got my attention was the fact on the letter was my correct address BUT on the check was my name with a home address of HYDE PARK, MA 02136. My fear is the pearsons name on the check may go thru with this scam and be over drawn on his account
It is so sad that these scammers are not put out of business! But they are slick. I used to work at Wal Mart at the sevice desk where customers could WIRE money to other people. It always upset us when older folks would come in week after week and send money to this kind of scam.We would try to tell them that it wasn't legit but they still sent them their money. We all have to be on our guard all the time about everything. r.young in ohio

I just recieved a letter with a check stating the same as above. The letter is on cheap paper, but the check on the other hand looks like a real one. It is a pretty good FAKE! It is from Unibank for savings in Whitinsville, Ma. for $3750.00. The name on the letter is Brandy Ferguson. I know better than to believe this, but what about that poor family that has been praying for a miracle because times are hard. Then this comes in the mail! Please please spead the word that this is going on! This would be a very expensive lesson to learn. These people need to be STOPPED. Mary, Indiana

I recieved a check for $3400, issued be the Private Bank, they told me that i had won $50, 500 also and the taxes was going to be $2400. I sent the $2400 Western Union.
but the Lord told me to look on the internet under Customers Compensation Draw, I read all the scam. I called Western Union and stop the payment. Thank GOD They had
not picked up the money. this was 04/26/2011. the name of the person i send the money was Leona Adams.

I also rec'd a cashier's check for $3400, issued by "The Private Bank", dated April 11, 2011. This and an attached letter were postmarked from Canada, with a return address on the envelope of "Customer Service, 130 Bloor St., West Miss. ON. L4Y 0B3. However, the return address on the letter informing me I had won a lottery draw from a major store in the US or Canada (WalMart, Sears, Lowes, etc.) was listed as Customers' Compensation Draw, 150 Washington Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11205. Tel: [protected]. Date of letter was 4/12/2011. I was instructed in the letter to contact Mr. Zack Usman at that number "for further clarification and instructions on claiming [my] winning. The letter read that I would be using "some money on this first check to pay for the applicable TAXES on [your] winning $50, 500.00".
My first move after receiving and reading this letter was to go on-line to see if this is a scam - it sounded too goo to be true and, I see that it is indeed just that. Had I contacted Mr. Usman, I would have hung up on him at once when he asked for any personal banking information, recognizing it as a scam. However, this all looked very real and legitimate that I can see how many people could be taken in by it.
I plan to notify my local and state officials about this in hopes that they might be able to find these scammers and stop them. I can only imagine the money they've made by now.

I just recieved a cashier's check for $3400. THE PRIVATE BANK. Instructed to call Mr Zack before cahing check. Stated that the taxes would be $2400.00 and that This would come out of the check I recieved. Letter Co is CONSUMERS COMPENSATION DRAW. 150 Washington Ave, brooklyn, NY 11205. Tel # [protected]. I dis not call this person or try to cash the check. This is an obvious scam and I have reported it to the Postal Serice and the Attorney Generals Office in Virginia.

I received a $3500 cashier's check with THE PRIVATE BANK printed at the top. ( The logo did not run when I wet it though.)
I called a Mr.Zack Usman as instructed for instructions. He said to cash the check and call him back. I didn't cash the check but I did call him back and asked for a phone number that I could use to see if the whole thing was legit. He hung up on me and I called back and there was no answer.
The total tax on my bogus $50, 500 was to be $2500 which was to be sent to the appropriate agent. Who should I report this to?

To patticakes56308 thank you for posting the above. I received the same letter and check yesterday an an internet search save me from this scam i still have the check although i could not get the bank logo to run with water. i don't have the income to pay the 2800 dollars as I get less then that in a month. this is the third scam in 3 weeks i have received. I think I have "sucker" tattooed on my forehead.

This scam continues in 2011...my friend received a Cashier's Check drawn on Bank of America, San Antonio, Texas instructing her to call a number for acceptance and instructions. The Cashier's Check was printed on an ink-jet printer. When we applied a drop of water to the Bank of America logo, and wiped...it smeared. I don't think so. By the time you found out the Cashier's Check was not good, you'd be $2800 overdrawn in your account.

Received a letter from PACIFIC SECURITY SERVICES, 100 Park Ave, Ny, NY 12006 (Tel - [protected])
Titled: AWARD FINAL NOTIFICATION
I'm supposed to contact Fred Logan before I attempt to cash the check which is written for $3, 850.00 under Bennett International Logistics, LLC in@ P.O. Box 569, McDonough, GA 30253
The letter says that the tax on my total winnings of $65, 000.00 is exactly $2, 850.00.

Should I send them a check for $2, 850.00? Uhhh, probably NOT!

this is a scam I received the same only contact was different.called the company that was paying the check they confirmed it is bogus

11/19/10 The check was for $3, 700 and we were to use WESTERN UNION to send $2, 800 to Sara Well in London. This "CUSTOMER COMPENSATION DRAW" was for customers of WAL-MART KOHL'S SEARS KMART etc The contact for activation was James Cashran the check was drawn on National Bank of Malvern First thing we did was to go to Google

just got a letter from uxbridge security services i won a compensation lottery with a check to cash and send them back money from my winnings...Is this a scam?
