OVER THE YEARS I'VE RECEIVED LOT'S OF EMAILS OFFERING DEALS THAT ARE TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, AND WHEN I DON'T REPLY TO THEIR EMAILS THEY WOULD SOMEHOW GET MY PHONE #, CALL ME, AND TRY TO CONVINCE ME THAT I SIGNED UP FOR, AND WON SOME SWEEPSTAKES THAT I KNOW I HAD EVEN HEARD OF. NORMALLY, I WOULD TELL THEM THAT "IF IT'S GOING TO COST ME MONEY I'M NOT INTERESTED", BUT IT ALWAYS ENDS UP WITH ME JUST HANGING UP ON THEM UNTIL THE NEXT ENCOUNTER.
HOWEVER, TODAY WHEN I CAME HOME MY DAUGHTER CHECKED THE MAIL BOX. SHE GAVE ME A LETTER THAT HAD A CANADIAN POST MARK, AND STAMP. I OPENED THE LETTER ONLY TO FIND A LETTER FROM "WATERHOUSE SECURITIES, INC." AS WELL AS A CHECK IN THE AMOUNT OF $4, 980.00 FOR ONCE AGAIN "WINNING" A SWEEPSTAKES THAT I HAD NEVER ENTERED, OR HEARD OF. THE CHECK I RECEIVED WAS DRAWN ON A " WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A." CHECK IN VAN WERT, OH.@ 114 E. MAIN ST. THE CITY WAS CORRECT, BUT THE ADDRESS & PHONE # WERE NOT.
I THEN GOOGLED "WATERHOUSE SECURITIES INC." AND CAME ACROSS A RIP OFF ALERT. I WENT TO THIS SITE, AND AS SOON AS I STARTED READING THE ALERT POSTED BY SHIRLEY ON 3/02/09 I KNEW THAT I WAS BEING TARGETED AS WELL. ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT SHE POSTED FROM HER LETTER WAS IN MINE AS WELL, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE BANK NAME, AND THE CITY WHERE THE BANK IN LOCATED. I URGE EVERYONE THAT RECEIVES ONE OF THESE LETTER TO INVESTIGATE FOR YOURSELF, AND LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE. DON'T BE TAKEN IN BY THESE "CON ARTISTS" THAT ARE COUNTING ON PEOPLES "LOVE OF MONEY", AND "GREED" TO MAKE THEM WEALTHY. "BE SMART AMERICA!!! "
