I just reported this to the FCC as well as the FBI...hopefully they will do something about this. I suggest all who posted on here to do the same.
I too received a letter and check (dated Nov 17, 2010). It was in the exact amount as everyone else on this complaint forum...$985.73. It says it is from 'Boman Marketing Group' on basic print paper...not a usual letterhead. Just something someone printed up. It states that there is a lump sum payout of US $9,7000. To contact 'claims agent' Rachel Brown at the 905-598-5405. It says the check is for tax purposes BEFORE receiving the lump sum payout. Now why would you pay taxes on something you've not received yet?!! I did some searching online and could not find this marketing group in the US or Canada. Also, I checked into the phone/fax numbers. The phone number is based in Quebec, Canada...nowhere near Vancouver. The fax number is based in WA state...again...nowhere near Quebec, but closer to Vancouver. But why have different address, phone, & fax locations?!! The letter is signed by a Brian Mansen. At the very bottom it states 'Hours: Monday To Friday From 9AM To 6PM'. What time zone? Most companies state what time zone they use, to make sure people call them at proper hours. All of this stinks of fraud. Although the check looked legit...even the PNC Bank part...I held onto it knowing that something just wasn't right about all of it. My initial seach didn't even turn up complaints on this letter. It seems a lot of other have been hit with this in the last month. I'm glad I checked again. I'd hate to see what would happen had I acted against better judgement and deposited this thing. I am holding onto it so I will have proof for when I report this thing to the govt.
I recieved the same check I have not cashed it.. It is sitting on my desk what do I do with it?
So I got this check for $985.73 at first I was lke yay christmas money but I dont know what to do with it I wanna cash it see if I can get the money.

you will not be able to cash it cause i tried and the check is no good FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
My stepson received this same letter. Note; at the bottom of the check indicates the PINK numbers
should not be able to be removed HOWEVER, if you rub or blow on the numbers, they come OFF!!!
FAKE FAKE FAKE...... I plan on calling this one in!

"I received a check aswell....however, i cashed it..it real, but make sure u don't put it in ur checking account....just keep the cash....nd if u need to call..call after 5.15 pm....u'll be able too talk a claim agent....be very careful nd keep the claim letter with u for further reference....all the best.

I just tried to rub the pink off...it rubbed right off but IMMEDIATELY reappeared!! How nuts is that?!! I tried it a second time...same thing. Looks like it rubs completely off then reappears. Wierd frickin ink they use.
