I got the same letter and the crazy thing about it we have the same rep ID too. I was calling the 780-604-2284 number and got nobody. I felt something was wrong so I called a friend and she said it happen to her cousin and it was a scam. The police came looking for her and made her pay all the money back. I am so glad I didn't go to the bank today and deposit that check. I can't afford to go to jail or pay 4,995. I have a 6 month old son that's crazy how people just scam or try to scam people. I knew it was to good to be true when I saw the check in my name and then they want most of it back. I believe it's a scam too cause after doing more resource I can't find anything.
Reply:Seriously, you don't realize this is a scam?


The check you have is fake.

Reply:I got this same letter and the check so i figured ok let's see what the deal is.....look at your check and see what the date on the check is....the check is post dated for Aug. 30. 2008. And the offer is only valid till April 30, 2008. So there ya go "SCAM". Thankfully my bank was smart enough to catch that little date detail as i had missed it completely. Just thought you should know careful!!
Reply:Although I have not dealt with this SCAM specifically, I have been involved in something like this before, as has a good friend of mine. The reason these "companies" use wire transfers of cash is that it can not be reversed. Once cash is sent and collected on the other end it is gone and can not be recovered. I lost out on $2800 several years ago from a scam that sounded to good to be true. I did not use my best judgement and jumped on the "opportunity".


If I were you I would absolutely not get involved with something like this. You are being set up by someone who is going to take your money, and be done with you.


I did eventually find a great part time job that I turned into full time and am still doing today. Feel free to email me at LESGNAB@gmail.com and I will explain it to you.
Reply:Well I just called someone and they answered and gave me information about the money gram and said they information and money will be here next week. It is probably a scam i just wanted everyone to know that they did answer
