First Capital Securities Inc. fraud

I ALSO RECEIVED A CHECK FOR $4, 875.00. I DID SOME CHECKING AND FOUND THIS IS NOT TRUE. I DID CALL THE NUMBER TO SEE WHAT THEIR PITCH WAS BUT AN ANSWERING MACHINE PICK UP THE CALL AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ROOM TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. THIS QUED ME TO CHECK THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY COMPLAINTS AND THERE WERE. THIS KIND OF GARBAGE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE WILLING TO BUY INTO A SCAM LIKE THIS. IT IS A SHAME THAT AS OF ONE OTHER PERSON THAT COMPLAINED TO THE CANANDIAN GOVERNMENT AND FOUND THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN TRACKING THIS DOWN. JUST A SHAME.

I received a check from First Capital Securities in the amount of $4, 875.00 check no#1679
account 001679 [protected] [protected]

The letter stated I won $125, 000.00 and tax monies in the amount of $2, 975.00 were to be paid. I called the claim agent at [protected] and requested to speak to Helen Campbell my suppose to be claim agent. Her male secretary said she was out. Before going any further with this I looked up on line and sure enough found that they are RIP OFF ARTISTS and this is a scam. Be careful everyone. Its close to the holidays and sure enough these people will get you. Call the Banks, look up the companies on line and do not let your bank information out of your hands. Im so glad I took the 5 minutes to save myself from a world of trouble. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! I hope you do not get screwed with this scam!

First Capital Securities Inc. bad check

I got a check for 4878.00 and a letter saying not to use the check until I called the # on the letter. So I called the phone # on the letter and a lady answer and told me that the money they send me was part of a winnings of 125, 000.00 and that I needed to send them 2975.00 of the 4878.00 to pay for the taxes and that when they got the money they will send me the rest of my winnings by fed ex, so I deposit the check and called back. I called her back and she said that I needed to send 2975.00 by moneygram or western union. I did not send nothing because I deposit the check in my bank account and because it was a large amount I had to wait 5 day for the bank to cash it.

I agree with complaints because I received the same letter with the same request. I decided to get on the internet to check to see what this was all about. I called the number in the letter and the voice mail was full. I was so glad that I chec ked because I would have deposit this check and be in worst shape than I currently am. It is a shame that people have to put up with this type of stuff, especially with things as they are with the USA. It is hard to understand why people do this instead of getting a job and making money. If it wasn't for complaints, I would not have known. Thanks to all of you and the internet.

I got a check today for $4875. I called and asked "why they just didn't take the money out of the amount they sent?" George Stanley had no answer. Then I asked why I should pay taxes now that aren't sue until April 15 of next year. He mumbled a bit until I said "Something's not right here." He hung up. When I called back he would not answer. Phone machine said the tape was full. I'll bet it's not full of messages from well-wishers. I called back an hour later and he answered. I cussed him and told him I would report this to police and FBI. He called me back and left a message saying that when the FBI comes for him, he will turn them on me for cussing at him. Freakin' hilarious. If we met face to face, I could give him many painful reasons to call the authorities. There's a special place in hell for slime like this.

I also received a check for the amount of 4, 875.00 and was told the same thing--not to cash the check until a phone number was called for instructions...I immediately felt suspicion upon noticing that there was not a return address ont he letter, and was stamped Canada...I felt it was a scam when I read that I was supposed to send a moneygramor western union check for the amount of $2975.00 to pay for government taxes...After looking on the Internet, I found my suspicions to be true--thank you all for verifying this...I pray that the people involved receive exactly what they have sowed...As we all know "we reap what we sow"...

scary isn't it? Our personal life is not personal anymore.
Internet made it worse.
We can't trust anything...perhaps God, but even God is even being removed from our constitution.
I did not give my correct email address...don't want an influx of mail I don't trust.

This seems like an easy case to solve . I hope the authorities do something about it. People who pull these scams should be put in jail until they can pay each and every victim back. these people are sick. I once saw a T.V. show, about a girl that was caught pulling a scam like this . She had no remorse for her victims, infact she said it was their fault for being so stupid. I'd love to see 60 minutes do an investigative report about this one. It would be a great public service. I heard that people are much more suceptable to scams like these during hard times.Thank God we have the resorces to investigate these thing ourselves now a days. Good job everyone for spotting tis and reporting it.
