After looking through the site and all the reports, I see that Barnes Marketing and National Marketing may be the same company i.e. scams.
My letter is from National Marketing, but others have exactly the same letter, even the same typo ('you' instead of 'your') from Barnes Marketing.
Seems they have changed their name and town In Ontario, but same amount and everything else.
Anyone know if I take the check and letter to the police, can they do anything about it? Can my bank?
