T.R. LANSING & ASSOCIATES - Ripped Off Old Man - BEWARE - STAY AWAY Amityville New York
T.R. Lansing & Associates has been sending very slick junk mail to my 92 year old World War II veteran father. They offer a very misleading (illegal?) advertizing package claiming the old man has the potential to receive over $10,000. All he has to do is send them $10 to claim it.
My father has been ripped off numerous times by this outfit. The old man has borderline dementia and can no longer distinguish between legitimate honest offers and this type of rip-off.
I filed a complaint against them with the Illinois Attorney General's Office (Consumer Protection Division). You may wish to do the same thing by writing to the Attorney General in your state for problems you have with these types of companies.
Add this company to your list of outfits to stay away from. I guess this is the modern day version of the Amityville Horror.

How many complaints is this OP going to submit

for essentially the same problem???? The OP should consider approaching the courts and having a law guardian appointed for this gentleman. A law guardian has much more control than someone with a simple or durable Power of Attorney. A law guardian can have the gentleman's credit reports annotated that there is a court appointed law guardian who must approve any and all credit and business transactions. This would prevent these types of scams from being successful-in effect the gentleman would no longer be held responsible for ANY new contracts. This is something the family should consider because of the gentleman's diminished mental capacity.

Somehow I don't think it works that way.

The bank has no reason to hold any direct deposit and conspiracy theories just make you look like a fool since it proves you have no facts. The bank does not 'request' your deposit. The deposit is 'submitted' by the paying entity. Perhaps this entity didn't have the money to cover it and withdrew it. Perhaps they felt it was submitted early in error and withdrew it.
