This is in response to a letter that contained a check for $4897.99 with the name Primeamerica Life Insurance Company, Duluth, GA., and stated it was to cover taxes in the amount of $2980.00.  Per the other comments it has to be a scam but I am not sure just what to do with it other than possibly destroy it?

Received the same letter.  Called the number and spoke to a foreign speaking man.  I ask him where he was and he said Las Vegas; however, I could hear the radio or tv in the background and it said Vancouver.  I then called the insurance company and they said it was fake.  I have turned the info over to the sheriff's office.
This was obviously a fraud but hopefully it will not go to an elderly person that does not understand this.

This creep contacted us in Virginia.  We are reporting him to the Fairfax County Police tomorrow.  Be very careful as they will rip you off.


Notice that the letter came without a return address and a Canada stamp.  This was a first sign of touble.  Of course no one here ever plays the lottery.  

This is total bull [***]!
