I received a letter and check in the mail from DynCorp. The return address on the envelope is Dyn Corp Power Inc., 750 King Blvd, Sherbrooke QC J1H 3E5. The company address information on the check is DynCorp International LLC, P.O. Box 961217, Ft. Worth, TX 76161 with a telephone number of 866-530-6041. The letter contained yet a different company name and address: DynCorp Power Financial Group of Publishers Sweepstakes, 9800 Mulbeery Rd, Kelowna, B C, V4T 2H9.
The check was in the amount of $2960.00. The letter states that I am "a Winner! In the international promotions/prize sweepstakes lottery program, which was held on June 7th, 2008". I never entered this sweepstakes.
The letter continues, stating that "the purpose of this letter is to explain how you can claim your cash prize. For you to be able to claim your prize there are fees of a calculated amount of $2960.00. Enclosed is a check payable to you in the above amount. Please before cashing your check, you have to call to confirm that you have received the letter with the enclosed check. An amount representing 10% will be deducted from your prize to repay the fees... For more information please contact your representative Ms. Tamara Williams, at the following number 1-450-675-4229".
Beware of this company. This is a scam and the check is fraudulent. Cashing a check like this will cause you to lose a great deal of money. I have reported this to the U.S.P.S. as mail fraud. I also wanted to warn others here.
