I want to know who this number belongs too. I need some info.

Does anyone one have information about the numbers 289-888-3106 & 298-888-2252? It seems to be similar to the secret shopper scam.

This claims to be a Mystery Shopping Marketing group. It is not!! They scammed me out of $3,026.00.  Report them to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov or www.ic3.gov if you get mail or a phone call from them.

unknown number calling

I got the same letter. A fake check for $4,950.00. To contact a Clains Agent, Sandra Miller At 1-289-888-3135 to claim the rest of my 250,000.00 sweepstakes prize winnings. I wish so****ing could be done about these kind of things.

CALLED BUT ANSWER MA****E SAID IT'S NOT OPEN...........ON A FRIDAY MORNING AT 10 A.M.

I just for a letter and a check in the mail. The e-mail address www.qams.com is up for sale. www.qamms.com no matter how you spell it this is a SCAM. The check is from Wood&Huston Bank in marshall, missouri but the letter was sent from Ca***a. And just incase you are wondering, a REAL check doesnt need to say on the check "OFFICIAL CHECK" I hope no one has cashed this. It could ruin your standing at your bank.

289-888-2267 is affiliated with an 'advance fee’ lottery scam.  The company name is; AER Financial Trust of P.O. Box 01477 Windsor, Ont.  The****ential victim is sent a letter from Bruce Atkins (Promotions Manager) informing him that he is a winner of the Sweepstakes and Lottery Draw and is en***led to the sum of $125,000.  Enclosed with the letter is a check in the amount of $4,850 (counterfeit) to pay the non-resident government tax.  The victim is instructed to contact claims agent Kelly Peterson.  This is a SCAM.

I received a phone call from this number at 1:27pm (PA) on 7/16/09. The caller said my name when I answered and she then asked me a question about where I worked. She spoke English but sounded Indian and spoke way to fast for me to understand. She said her name was Susan and she was a regional manager but I couldn't make out for what company/organization.I asked her to email me what she wanted but she (a bit annoyed at this point) said that she did not have time and ***g up on me.Strange call.

I received a letter congrtulating me that based upon information they had ascertain I had been chosen to represent their company by being a secret shopper. It included a cashier check drawn on the DeSoto County Bank in DeSoto MS with the toll free # 888-360-9571.  I called the number on the letter 289-888-1872 and spoke with William who was very rude and didn;t want to give out any information.  Just wanted me to deposit the check and call back for details.Here is what will make you think twice.1.  Consumer Vision has a web site but no contact # just a email on the website.  2.  There was not issuing company name on the check.3.  William Knight said to call back the same number and extension to speak with my coordinator and get instructions once the check was deposit.  I explained that I would just get him a***n and why couldn't he answer my questions while I was on the phone.  I did ask who would send such large sums to anyone?  He said I would be given codes for sending the money via MoneyGram and Travelex.  Trust your gut.  It is too good to be true.  I feel that this is definiiely a SCAM!!!!!!!!,

I also received this letter. The checks look so ligit. I am 64 and don't have the health, energy or funds to deal with such a horrific scam. Please stop these scammers. if it wasn't for checking it out on line I would have been taken!!

same as above saying i won $2,900.00 but cant cash have to deposit in account. so****ing needs to be done about this.

i got a letter from disney vacation club simpler marketing sweepstakes and it was a scam. I was told that i won 25,000 and a cashiers check for 2******t when its all said & done its wrong for ppl 2 do this

This phone number is serviced through Fido Solutions Inc., which is a wireless service provider in Ca***a. Not a call, but I received a letter, a Cashier’s Check for over $4,965 and a survey. It was for Customer Vision INC., Shopping Business Solutions. They wanted me to shop for products, complete a survey, send them a money gram for over $3,000 and fax confirmation that all of this had been completed. Please BEWARE of these people, as they are using different names, banks, phone numbers, addresses, etc. My bank took the time to look into this and yes, it is definitely a SCAM.

I was to deposit the check for 4,997 dollars into my account anabout 2900 back to them via money-gram. So I did some checking, I called citibank..not the number on the check cause that will tell you the d wire money is in there, but the main office for citibank. They said there was a block on the account. So I did a reverse lookup for the number on the check for Trolux home etc. and it came back as a cell phone...very odd. So I took it to my bank and they told me it was probably a fake and they would try to deposit it but they would wait to make the funds available untill it cleared. Guess what it didn't clear. Don't send them any money it is a scam and the amount they have you send is just under the government limit for wire transfers. Over a certain amount is automaticalloy reported to the Feds. Furthermore, you could get in trouble for money laundering in a worst case senario. Some of these are ever ********* organizations. DON'T FALL FOR IT PLEASE!!!!

Just wondering who is calling

I actually didn't receive a phone call from this number. Instead it has appeared in a e-mail I received as a job offer.  A Peter Woods contacted me to be a collections  agent for their company based in ****a.  i was to receive payments from their clients in USA and have check clear.  Then was to bank wire payment less fee to the company.  There is 3 other names connected with this company that I have received e-mail from.  Also phone calls from Mr. Woods and other company personal.  The following is a list of names:  Peter Woods (****a); Douglas Levi (UK); William Billings (?); John Foreman(Ca***a).Keep your eyes open for these names they are all scammers

Dwight Looking to see if anyone has received phone calls from this number.

showed up on my phone bill

I received a call from this number announcing I was a winner of Walmart Sweepstake. They sent me a check for processing fees but I am not sure if they are a legitimate company.

I received a letter with a check for $4480.00 form a company claiming to be a secret shopper company and they tell you to call them at the above number for information. This is a scam and the check is written on a fake bank account number.If you cash the check it will bounce and you will be responsible for the full amount of the check and fees. The company c****es names and uses logos form real businesses to make it look real.

We got a letter tell us that my wife had just been picked for Shoppers Reviews and had a cashier's check for $4,998.00. I called the phone number on the check and was told it was real... but I looked up the banks number which was not the same as on the check. I was told they do not even have cashier's checks. I fax the info them and turn it all over to the police.

Won 450,000 in lottery

I didn't pick up

This number was on a letter I received from Service Research Inc.  The letter inlcuded a check and asked that I call the number to get information on becoming their secret shopper.  Once you call the number and get the information, you are supposed to cash the check and complete your secret shopper****ignment.  These seems like a scam to me.

received  check for $5.000 about a lottery winnings  called # got some jamacian sounding guy on phone  looked up bank that issued check waiting e/mail from bank   got on web found this to be a scam involving a bunch of nigerians

Some one called me from this number trying to get me to cash a bogus check do not fall for this. It's a scam!

Received check from Trinity Healthcare, Inc.  Address of 20 Oak Street, Mu****ine, IA.  There is also another address on the letter of 752 16th St. Calgary, AB T3B 7j9, Ca***a.  Check is drawn on First Union National Bank, Chapel Hill, NC.  Check looks too legitimate and even has a gold foil seal on front.  The letter says we won $150,000 in a Sony promotion and are the winners of the National Lotto Co-Operation Sweepstakes Lottery.  Check received is for $4986.98.  Then they want us to send them $2998.00 in taxes to the tax agent Oscar Milton.  His number is 289-888-1662 and when called the ma****e states that it is full and can't accept more messages.  Guess it's off to the police tomorrow.

AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, MR."ROLAND" CALLED ME TO GET THE INFORMATION TO SEND THE CHECK. AFTER I INFORMED HIM THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THE PAYMENT FOR MY HOME, AND HOLD IT UNTIL jUNE. BUT THAT I HAD SPOKEN WITH MY ATTORNEY AND THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THE FUNDS CLEARED HIS ACCOUNT, BEFORE ANYTHING WAS SIGNED.HE STATED THAT HE WOULD CALL ME BACK..NEVER HEARD FROM HIM. SO I CALLED HIM BACK AND WHEN HE ANSWERED, HE WAS AT HIS HOME AND HAD TO TURN DOWN TH TV. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS RETURNING HIS CALL AND WHEN I MEN***ONED ERIC BLONDS NAME, HE SAID "WHO IS ERIC BLOND". THEN i STID THAT HE WAS "YOUR: PERSON YOU ARE PURCHASING A HOME FOR...NEEDLESS TO SAY..I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SCAM. PEOPLE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL, AND CALL THEIR LOCAL FBI OFFICE IF THEY GET ON OF THESE EMAILS AND CALL...I CALLED THE FBI

received a letter to call this number.

I got the same exact letter and check...I can confirm that all on the posting by rodg-15 Apr 2008 is 100% correct.

This is the number****ociated with a "lotto scam" that I received in the mail. I am in the US, and the contact name was Oscar Williams, which is a known scam name used by Nigerian scammers. I guess they have a forwarding address in Ca***a.

Called twice, first time I ***g up, second said he was calling to India. Do not know what the deal is

general marketing

Supposedly we won $194, 780.000 and an "official check" of $4177.77 was sent to****ist me in paying a processing fee! The prize money must be claimed no later than Jan. 10, 2008. Hmm.. The account manager's name is Jason Miller from 874 First Ave. Freeland, PA 50231. The online gaming.com payment verfication center is supposedly in charge of this prize. They listed www.zim.com on the letter, but it's a shipment company. Really odd. How do I verify that this check is fake?
