Secured Financial Award Inc. sent an award letter stating that my husband won $55,000.00 and a fraudulent check in the amount of $3,875.00. This check is to reimburse us for sending them $3875 to pay them for State and Federal taxes. I checked out the bank on-line and there was no address for this branch of Suntrust Bank in Atlanta, GA. I then checked out the company.

When I Googled the company, I found that there were several complaints at Ripoff Report. Cheryl in Illinois sent them the money and the company's $3.895.00 check bounced and she had to replace the money they sent them with retirement funds. The company's check bounced.

Mrs. Ramirez in Texas also received the same letter but checked it out before she did anything.

I don't know if they are targeting older people but Cheryl had to go into her retirement funds to reimburse the bank.

I am afraid if this scam reaches a number of elderly individuals that are not familiar with the internet so they can check this out; these people will lose money that they cannot afford to lose.

Check Information: Suntrust Bank, 1050 Piedmont, Atlanta, GA 30062; Check No. 2110, Check date 09-12-08, Check Amount $3875.00; numbers at the bottom of the check: 002110 061000104 1000051475167; preprinted signature R Prichard, CAN

I filed a Mail Fraud complaint with the US Post Office. It would probably be a good idea if everyone did.
