Early Oct. I received a letter with a check from a company called Tri-Star Inc. from Ontario, Canada. The letter stated I was 1 of 20 winners of a sweepstake
in which I won $180,000. The check issued with the letter was made out in the amount of $4250 and stated in the letter was $2750 of this check would be used to pay for surcharges, taxes, etc. I was not to cash the check until I called a telephone number and spoke with a person named Chris.
The check enclosed looked very official/real with the bank name of KeyBank National Association name on it and with Key Bank symbol. The name of the company check was Licursi Garden Center of Kirtland, Ohio/
I did not call or try to cash the check. I did look the company up on line and saw that this was a scam!

I'm not the owner of Tri-Star but of Licursi Garden Center. I want to say you were not the only one that reviewed that check. We received hundreds of phone calls to our amazement about receiving the same thing. We had no idea our checking account number was stolen and produced fraudulent checks. Unfortunately the company that did this is based out of Canada and nothing could be done. Our account was secured by Key Bank and account numbers were changed immediately. Hopefully this doesn't happen to any other business owner.
