I was sent a letter and a check in the amount of $3900.00, the letter gave me a phone number to call to activate check I did that was told by a Daniel Reed that i was to deposit the check into my bank then call him he would clear the check i was then supposed to buy something for $100.00 at a store of my choice and evaluate the store, then i was to go to a Western Union and send $3234.00 to different people in spain. i took the check to my bank and was informed that there was no such account for this check, so i reported it to the local news station as well as here

Hi,
I am so frustrated, I have called the police, FBI, newspapers, no one wants to do anything. We have over 400 checks so far try to clear. I want these people to pay also but there is no authority that will do anything. I even tried the Secret Service.
I guess they will just get away with it which is horrible.
Thank you so much for trying to help.

I received a check and letter identical to the original complaint. I called and did speak to that Daniel person. When he realized that I was questioning him and I told him that I was going to report him to the authorities, he hung up on me. When I tried calling back, a voicemail came on and it was "full" (which means that I could NOT leave a message).
I am sorry to hear that he is using you company. But I want him to pay, and going to my local police station isn't enough. Where do you suggest I send this to? FBI? BBB? Please Advise.

Hello,
My name is Darlene Racinelli and I am the VP for Dynamic Designs. Someone has fraudulently stole our account number and is putting out these bogus letters. This is a scam perpetrated by some thief's trying to steal money from people.
DO NOT CASH THE CHECKS - This is a fraud.
I have reported this to the Temecula Police department, but there is not much they can do, so they say. I even have called the FBI. It feels like a total violation to our company and it's name. We sell Candles and Potpourri to the mass market, we have NO secret shopper and did not put the letter out.
Thank you,
Darlene Racinelli
