We recieved the letter dated June 20th - with the 3,900 check from Chase - Chicago, IL. The originator of the check:  J.P Inc 225 Industrial Drive - Hampshire, IL  60140.  The envelope was mailed from Canada. Deadline to claim the 250,000 is July 6th 2008.  We too were instructed to reach Ron Clark at 1-647-889-5077.  1st attempt to contact him we reached a number that sounded like children were in the background playing.  2nd time we were informed Ron Clark was not available, but they wanted our claim number - which we did not supply.  I'd like to notify the appropriate authorities - where do I start?

I got a letter for unclaimed winning and a check for $4920.00 When I called some foreign guy told me to cash the check and call him back.  I hope these creeps get caught

I got a simular message.  But the ph.no. was different.  Is there such a sweepstakes from the government?  Or is the whole thing a farce.

That's an awful thing for heartless people to do.  It could cause
people with heart problems to have a heart attack.

I am a police officer and have run into this scam quite a bit.  I am currently prosecuting a woman charged with forging one of these checks for $3900. We have no leads on the company, the Feds deal with issues like that (NBC Dateline too I suppose.)  Throw these types of letters in the trash!

I recieved an final notice letter with a check for 4499.95 to deposit in my bank account and then call back for instructions. contact person is Kelly Anderson. Some people struggle very hard and may believe these scam artists we are in a recession you know. People can be wiped out, please get these heartless uncaring individuals, PLEASE.
