Received a letter dated 14th of April 2010 with UK postage of 31/13/09 referring to a "UK & NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PROMOTION DRAW" and containing a fake check from Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company. The letter said the check is part payment of a prize, and that you would need to wire the to "offset the statuatory Non British Resident tax" directly to an assigned British Tax officer via western union or money gram. Of course you should do this only after talking to a payment handling officer Mr. Cornel Madison in the tax Office by calling an 866 number listed under a for lease property address in Idaho...
My mother received this check from Farmers Texas Mutual Insurance Company. It matched the one on this website!
Wanted to let everyone know people are still sending these out.
I'm very glad I go through my parents mail. Thank you!
I just recieved one of those checks today for 3650 didnt cash it yet. glad i didnt
I received a check, via UK, dated the 27th of February. Everything was the same as in recent postings except I was given an 877 number to call. The amount of the check was $2, 500.00 with $47, 500.00 to come via courier later. I knew immediately that this was a scam but out of curiosity I googled the insurance company name anyway. It was great to find so many others whom had written a warning post. I am turning my letter over to the district attorney so he can use it in his ongoing investigation.
I received a very similar check and letter dated 27 Feb 2012. Differences minor. Fundamentally appears to be a fishing expedition probably to get personal ID information. Thank goodness this website was available when I searched for Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company.
I just received one of these letters and checks today! These people who are sending these out are real ###-HOLES...
I received one of these checks and would like to know how to get my name of whatever list put me in their path to do this. I could not get any answers from the telephone number listed on the attached letter. It looks real and it does mention several well known places like Sears, Walgreens, Staples, and Safeway. If this is a scam what is the government doing about this.
Just received a similar check. Its in the amount of $2, 950.00- which $1, 950.00 is for Tax Clearance Fee (United Kingdom). Also saying that I am entitled to $50, 000.00 (certified check) which will be delivered to me via Courier Company (FedEX or Ups). Can't you stop these people from using your bank/insurance company? Surely this puts a burden on your creditibility. Shirley Mann
NP!Thank you just curios.
I also recieved an exact check like the ones above. What I would like to know is how do they get my information and what happens if I cash the check? Not that I will, just curious. Also how do I stop this from happening again?
Grandma got one of these also what is the scam.
