Enclosed was check number 687739 made out in my name on the account of Tyco Electronics Corporation, P.O. Box 3608, Harrisburg, PA, 17105-3608 Name of Bank: M&T Bank 213 Market Street, Harrisbury, PA 17101
(Harrisbury is not a type-o this is how it is spelled on the check)
When I tried to call the number the line was busy, at that point anything that looks to good to be true has got to be a lie, so I came on line and started typing in different parts of the letter and I ended up here.
I have one other question: isn't it mail fraud to send this through the mail. Luckly I and several others are smart enough to know when something is too good to be true but what about other people, I am sure there are alot out there that have beeb ripped off!
