General Market Survey scam
received similiar letter but I have not called this Mark Nelson as I am reading he has different contact #'s. When I opened the letter and found the check for $5997.00, I had this gut feeling it had to be a scam or some kind of identity theft scam. I still have not called and I don't want to waste my time. With the economy the way it is, people who are le...

We just got one of the letters. the account address on this one is H.E.B. P.O. Box 839944 San Antonio Texas [protected] it is also on a JpMorgan Chase bank in Columbus Ohio. Sounds too good to be true? It probly is. I had my doubts because I am never that lucky.
I AM 51 YRS OLD AND I HAVE CANCER, WHEN I RECIEVED THIS LETTER AND SAW THE CHECK, I WAS VERRY HAPPY, AND I WAS THINKING OF ALL THE RIGHT THINGS THAT I CAN DO FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR OTHERS. BUT I HAVE NOT HERD ANYTHING FROM MR: NELSON, NOUR HIS COMPANY . I DO NOT WISH UPPON ANYBODY NO HARM, BUT IT REALLY HURTS WHEN YOUR HOPES ARE STEPT ON AND BE BETRAID IN SUCH A WAY. GOD WILL FIND AWAY FOR WHOM EVER THEY ARE . I CAN ONLY SAY WITH MY SAD HEART DO GOOD NOT BAD.
First of all, this guy should not be doing what he is doing. It is just straight up wrong. He's playing on the minds of the people who are being hit by this economical down fall. Using a "prize" would get many of our hopes up and that we would do anything for it. Regardless it is still a scam. I called it for my father and then recalled them saying that I won. I made up a fake claim number and he still said the same thing. That I won and I need to go deposit that amount into my bank. I really do wonder what would happen if you cashed the check instead of deposit?
I just recieved this same letter and my no.s are also different. I too am going to call this guy and tell hima few facts of life. I work hard for my money and creeps like him and his buddies are not going to make a living off of my sweat. I also managed to call the bank (JP Morgan Chase Bank) and informed them. I was not the first to call in to them.
So be forewarned. This whole thing is a scam. I hope this guy gets caught. It the poor souls that actually think its real that will be hurt.
Thank you everyone for posting your comments. I too got this letter and was not excited but disappointed that crap like this continues to prey upon hard working individuals such as yourselves. The letter and check has now gone into the shredder. Save me the time and effort by visiting this site than calling some idiot. Thank you again!
I called him up all day and told him stuff like hes a ### and that he needed to kill himself all different types of ###ed up ### hows this person gonnah go gettin us minimum wage making peoples hopes up. if I ever see that ### ima stomp his ###.
I received the very same letter today with a couple of variations. The agents name in the body of the letter was James Watts and the phone numbers were different. I did call him and he said to just deposit the check and be sure to wait until it cleared --as long as I wanted -- to send the taxes. Yeah right! Also, the business name on the check (on a JPMorgan Chase bank) is for an electronic company in Minnesota. I got their phone number and verified that there was such a co. and even had the same address as is on the check. Unfortunately, it was after hours, and I would have to call back during the day to talk with someone other than the off-hours answering guy. They must love having checks with their name on them out there like this! I am wondering if everyone has this electronic co. name on their checks also?
I just received the very same letter yesterday. I called Mark Nelson and he told me to deposit the check, call him so he could verify the check deposited, then wait until it clears. Then Fec-Ex woul deliver the remaining amount of the $150, 000.00. I then called the number for the finance company and he ansered that number also. I then went to this sigt and read everyone's complaints. Thank you for having this site. I am retired and do not have monty to throw away on scams such as this one.
I just recieved the very same letter today (May 26, 2009). I read over the letter and of course I called this so called Mark Nelson and recieved no answer on the other end. Then I went searching the net for any info. on this Company and of course I ran into this site. To believe people have the guts to do this but not everyone is smart to do some searching before they react.
