Homestyle Trust, Inc. There is no such store R & J Furniture , Inc. on 1738 Elmwood avenue. On the back of the letter show donors such as Wendy, WalMart, Western Union, Office Depot, Fedex and many more. They claim it is a grant not a loan. Total on the check statement does not match if you subtract if from the total Grant. It is signed by Mark Bloomberg VP of Foreign Account Department.

WARNING HOMESTYLE TRUST, INC. IS A FRAUDULENT SCAM. DO NOT CASH ANY CHECK SENT TO YOU.

A deceptive organization currently known as Homestyle Trust, Inc. is distributing fraudulent copies of our checks to randomly selected American households. An official-looking letter accompanies each check notifying the recipient that they have been awarded a North American Grant. It appears that one of our legitimate checks to a vendor was stolen from the mail.

R&J Furniture Sales has nothing to do with this scam. Our bank, M&T Bank, reacted quickly to the situation by closing our account to minimize financial losses nationwide. We are a real company, operating two home furnishings retail stores in Western New York for over 40 years. We employ over 50 people, whose livelihoods depend on the success of our company. In the last few weeks, our daily business has been interrupted in order to react to the fallout of this disturbing scheme.

Federal authorities are investigating the situation and we hope that the perpetrators of this scam are brought to justice. Please be sure R&J Furniture Sales (dba FWS, Factory Warehouse Sales) is not involved in this scam other than as a victim of theft. Please do not fall for this scam.

Respectfully Yours,
Richard Zakalik
Owner
