I received a Consumer's Reward Program notification letter that I was a winner of a Consumer's Reward Program Lottery held on Oct 24, 2008 I had ticket 975130.
Along with the letter was a cashier's check for $3, 900.00 drawn on Huntington Nation Bank, Columbus, Ohio. The check looked very good, with watermarks and all. The letter was very funny with many errors. (1) bad street address on "850 Denever River Road" (2) I'm asked to call 1-905-781-1703 to finalize my claim to my prize money. (3) The envelope everything came in was printed in a 36pt font and had a flower stamp that was at an angle (3) Letter was claimed to be from Sara Dose (President) but a name Laura Chager (sp?) signed the letter. (4) The letter told me not to tell anyone.
This has Fraud/Fake written all over it. Not literally, but don't fall for it.
A quick Google showed the proper address for the bank. I did email the bank with this information.
Hanfield Financial National Bank is not at fault here, someone is just using their name, numbers to print fake cashiers checks and then send them unsuspecting people that will cash them and then possibly wire the money back to them in hopes of getting more money. Its a typical Nigeria scam.
