On Tuesday April 22, 2008, I recieved a letter in the mail from Asset Financial Services. Attached to the letter was a check for $3, 800.00. I was skeptical about the whole thing, but decided to call the number in the letter.
The man i spoke with told me to take the check to my local bank and deposit it into my bank account. He then proceeded to tell me that once the check had cleared an amount of $1, 800 would be deducted from my account to pay for an insurance fee.
After hanging up the phone with the gentleman i spoke with, I proceeded to read the letter again. Amongst reading the letter I found a typo on it.
"NOTE: All peize monies must be claimed by Nay 5, 2008"
From that point on I had a feeling that it was a scam. So my sister in law and I decided to look up the address online and found many reports from different financial services using the same exact address. When we typed in Asset Financial Services into the google search bar it automatically came back with a claim on canada-complaints.com.
I read the report filed against them and realized that it was the same scenario as my own. I think that these people need to be caught because they are scamming innocent people out of the money in their checking accounts and taking from their families.
