My mother received a letter a letter and a authentic-looking check for $4,870.00 from Crownplaza Financial Services Inc. The address is the one for other phone numbers and this same address posted with warnings about a scam for a "Consumer Promotion Sweepstakes".
I do most of the shopping and other than food shopping at Safeway my mother had had not visited the other listed businesses. Also, I saw no reason for all the listed businesses, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Sears, Harvest Food, Home Depot, Dillard's, JC Penny's, Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, Safeway, K-Mart, and Target, to do any type of combined sweepstakes.
Beware - this is an extortion scam.
