My wife received a letter on Friday 3/13/09 from Mills Consumer Solutions Inc. payment and security center and a check. The letter stated that the company was out of Ohio with this phone number. This is about some sort of sweepstake that took place in November 2008 and she randomly won $100,000.00. There was a check, that looked very much like a real one, for $3,985.00 to be deposited within five days and to call this number so that we could get the rest of the money. I called the phone number on Sunday 3/15/09 with my cell phone to hear the buisness recording if any however an unknown person answered the phone. The person must have scanned my call because he hung up and called me back...what business does that, on a Sunday no less?.
I google map'd the address on both the letter and the check to confirm the fraud information. The business address, 3060 Eggers Ave., Cleveland, OH 44015, and the bank address, First State Bank & Trust, 155th & Hwy 24, Basehor, KS 660077, were in fact fake.
I called the FBI and gave them all of the information.
