Henry Cohen, Exec. Director Of Mktg For Readers Digest/Pepsi Cola I won $1,000,000 and a check for $5,069 was enclosed to cover "outstanding fees." Check was from a bank in Mount Vernon, WA. They have a client with that account who knows nothing about this scam. Nationwide
Received a letter postmarked www.Postescanada.ca from "Reader's Digest Pepsi dated July 30, 2009 advising that I was the 1st place winner of the Grand Prize draw in the Pepsi Cola One Million Dollar Giveaway in sponsorship with Readers Digest for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 USD).
Enclosed was a "certified" check for $5,069.00 drawn on a Keybank account of Connie Fideline dba H&R Block of Monroe, WA. Keybank is in Mount Vernon, WA 98273. Check didn't look authentic.
I phoned the bank and finally reached Nikki Rea of Keybank. She was aware of the fraud and requested that I fax her a copy of the check.
I searched online for an authentic Executive Director of Marketing of Readers Digest/Pepsi Cola, ie. Henry Cohen. No such person is listed.
Hopefully, others will not be duped by this scam
