I recieved a letter today along with a check via mail. Mailed to me from Canada from a company named Johnson Financials. The letter said it was notification of Consumer's Reward Program Lottery held on May 2, 2008. It said I had been approved for a lump sum payment of $39, 000. It also goes on to say that for security reasons I should keep this from public notice until claims had been finalized in order to prevent fraud and double claims. The letter goes on to say that I should contact Vicky Johnson or Robert Harris at 905-781-9522. I did not call this number. After opening this letter I immediately came online to check to see if this indeed had been reported as a scam and found this website. The check that was enclosed with this letter is drawn on Wells Fargo Bank out of Minneapolis MN and looks official enough. The date on check is 6/24/08. The signature on the bottom of the letter is signed Lisa Epainto Vice President. I haven't bothered to call the bank. I just figured it was a scam.
