On Tuesday, April 22, 2008 I received in the mail a plain white envelope with no return address, envelope was post marked (080417 20:48 V6B 3AD 080, www.canadapost.ca with a 91 cent stamp.
I opened the envelope and found one (1) blue in color bank check, #103599. Top left corner of check: "GLG Corporation, 3410 Thomasville Road, Winston-Salem, NC. 27107", Top Center of check "Suntrust Kemersville, NC. 27285, Top right corner of check, "103599, Date 04/16/2008". Center of Check: "pay To The Order Of Anthony G Hostetter, $**4200.00, Four-Thousand Two-Hundred and 00/100*****************Dollars", Bottom left corner, "Void 60 Days From Date Of Issue", Bottom Right Corner-a computer written signature, "John J. Getek, at the bottom middle of check is the bank numbers-"'103599"' '"053100465'" 0000581040552"' on back of check is water marks: "Docugard".
I noticed there wasn't a bank name or address on the check, so I went to the internet and googled Capital Direct which came up to a Canadian Mortgage Company but none of there addresses were a match. I then googled the phone number 1-778-858-7416 which came back with no known information. I then googled Claim number: JN-9149-079 which brought me to the complaint website. On 4/22/08 at approx. 7 pm (?), I called the number 1-778-858-7416, I got a voice mail which stated we no longer have any room to record your message.
The Letter I received with green Letter Head "CAPITAL DIRECT" also has an arrow embedded in the center of a bullseye), stated the following:
