Oaks Financial Trust, Irene Katz, James Baldwin, Larry P Kelly
LIES- Trip Reward Notification and a check for $2, 980.20!!

Althought the check for $2, 980.20 looks completely real (watermarks etc.), the Trip Reward Notification letter signed by Irene Katz had grammatical and spelling errors. The "Claim Agent" James Baldwin's voicemail sounded like some hoodlum telling me to leave a message. Nothing professional about it at all.

I called the bank that the check was issued from, BANK ONE, NA out of Columbus OH. They would not disclose any information. The check's company name is ROOTBLAST INTERNATIONAL, INC. The check's signature is Larry P Kelly. I found no company called Intrepid Ocean Linear, the "cruiseline promising a Caribbean get-a-away".

OAKS FINANCIAL TRUST based out of Canada is a scam. So if you're naiive enough to cash the check, you can't get yourself out of being stuck with an enormous dollar amount being taken from your checking or savings account because they are outside of the USA.
