And what happened

This is a scam.  I received the same today except now the check says Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company-PO Box 8379 Canton OH 44711-8379-On the bottom it says Bank One-looks legitimate but it is definately fraud.  Says I won 250,000.00 and sent the check for 4970.50 to cover the non-canadian residential tax.  I am contacting the FBI now and also Nationwide.  It is under the heading of Readers Digest.  It states Mark T. Howard as the regional manager phone# 206-445-0633 fax# 253-883-1828.  The tax agent, Stacy Black at 302-5554 Waller Lane Tacoma Washington and my claim agent is Amy Cooper at 778-320-0855.  What a bunch of crap.  Can't wait until they get caught.  Will definately work with authorities and try to chase the numbers.

This guy is a scam artisit.  I received a letter today telling me to call them that I won 250,000.00.  They used to send forged checks from AIG.  I received the same today except now the check says Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company-PO Box 8379 Canton OH 44711-8379-On the bottom it says Bank One-looks legitimate but it is definately fraud.  Says I won 250,000.00 and sent the check for 4970.50 to cover the non-canadian residential tax.  I am contacting the FBI now and also Nationwide.  It is under the heading of Readers Digest.  It states Mark T. Howard as the regional manager phone# 206-445-0633 fax# 253-883-1828.  The tax agent, Stacy Black at 302-5554 Waller Lane Tacoma Washington and my claim agent is Amy Cooper at 778-320-0855.  What a bunch of crap.  Can't wait until they get caught.  Will definately work with authorities and try to chase the numbers.

Same here - I received the same letter from Reader's Digest - I called the number just to see and was asked to go deposit the check and call her right back (Amanda Nelson at 778-320-0855) - no way am I going to deposit a check into my account either.  My check on the top was from Metropolitan Life Ins. Co in Texas.

Got this letter with the check today also.  Spouse was kind of tricked, but there was NO WAY in hell we were going to place that check into our account.
