Last year (Summer / Autumn 2006) letters were being received by people in England (U.K.) from a supposed firm called " Global Escrow Services" - or if not using that particular name and instead another it was ALWAYS linked to Global Escrow Services.
These letters were advising you that you had "won" thousands, you were to send a fee for cost of postage etc and they woulld then send you the money you'd won together with a gift such as pendants etc. See other reports. Some people unfortunately fell for the scam and then other became aware that a scam "was in operation".
Please be aware that as of today (19.7.07) there is another letter (ie scam) in circulation. This time it's from a firm called "Capital distribution group" claiming you have won 6000. They will send it in either a lump sum or 3 2000 installments during August, Septmber and October together with a limited edition Diamond Pendant. At least they've allowed for inflation from 2006! Again (as per last year) their offices are at 6a-170 The Donway West, Suite 1313, Toronto.
The letter is well written and to many people coud seem extremely genuine. They ask you to send 19.95 to cover ost of postage etc. This can either be don by cheque, postal order but EVEN MORE WORRYING one can pay the fee by Credit Card. To me this would seem that they then have all your card details (including last 3 security didgits on the back) and can then run amock spending on your card.
PLEASE BE AWARE!!!
