Secure Bond Bureau - ADP - Bank Of Oklahoma I was sent two check totaling $87,000.00 stated that I won a sweepstakes. I followed intructions on the letter & called the number. They told me to cash the chek for $6,715.23 then call them back. In order to redeem my $80,000.00 I had to by a $4,123.00 bond with them. Ripoff Fabreville Quebec
I check my mail & recived a letter stating That I had won a sweepstakes. Enclosed where two offical check. One in the amount of $6,715.23 & the other for $80,925.67. Of course right away I think it is to good to be true, but these hecks where real. I Followed the intructions on the letter & called a number provide. The lady tells me congrats & to fax over the form that was attached to the winnings. I asked her what this was from, & she had stated that it was a drawing from the Yellow Pages for people who had just placed a listing. In fact I did just place my business listing so I thought maybe this is for real. I called a local check cashing place & told them about the $6,715.23 check & asked them if they would be able to cash it. I called the number provided an told her I was going to cash it & I would call her back once I did. I was told I had to cash the small check & then by a bond threw DELL in order to recive the $80,000.00.
I almost became part of this scam & could of went to jail if I did not investigate on my own! I have tried contacting the banks these checks came from to let them know someone is passing out checks with their company name. I also contacted The Canadian Better Business Bureau, as well. I am waiting for a response!
