I did not get a call but got a letter from a company call Vintex Research Group. At first I was really excited and was going to cash it and but then I s**** thinking and I read the letter a***n. THERE WAS NO WEBSITE!!! Everyone has a web this days, at least the business do...And could not find anything then I reach for the # and I came across this.. Wouldn't you know.. So I called back and a guy name RANDY ARMSTRONG answer but not let the name fool you he sounded India. I told him I could not find his website anywhere and he gave me a web name really fast so I could not understand him, once I asked him where he got my info from he got nerves and didn't know what to say, when I told him I had gone to the police he quickly said  my check was going to be cancel and I would get no many.. Thats when I knew it was not real. If it was real they would have transfer me to a supervisor or so****ing.BE SMART PEOPLE RESEARCH ANYTHING YOU GET FIRST!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHECKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same letter are any of you disable

I just got the same letter wanting me to call this number.  The letterhead is Dynamic Group, Inc. the check is from Carver Company.  The check was from First National Bank Mu****ine, Iowa. for $4450.00.  I didn't cash it, just chuckled a bit and did my research and found my ***ch was right on.  It's a scam.  Lots of big name companies listed on the letter that would be very upset they were included in the scam.

I didn't get a call, but I just got a letter in the mail, with a check. I got a letter stating that I was approved for a grant that I applied for. Funny thing is, I NEVER applied for a grant. A check from Global Tissue Group was enclosed for the amount of $2590.00. The letter was from the Planwell Trust Inc, and listed Peter Winfred or Debbie Hayes. Here is where it gets VERY interesting. On the back of the letter, were companies that served as "donors" to this program. One of the listed "donors" was Costco. I work for Costco in the Member Services Department. Costco does NOT give grants to Individuals, we mainly donate only to Child and Human services....such as The Red Cross, United Way, and Childrens Hospitals. I am bringing this letter in to work and am going to fax it to Corporate in Washington state. I'll let our attorneys decide if they'd like to pursue anything for fraudulantly naming our company in this matter. So if you got one of these too, as hard as times are right now, sad to say but if it sounds too good to be true it most likely is.

Do you have some info about it?

This is another CA***IAN MAIL SCAM!!!The phone # on the letter is an Ontario, CA***A phone number. (NOT USA)Just search Briggs & Stratton Scam from your search engine (Google or Yahoo!) and click on the link: ALERT: Scammers Use Briggs & Stratton Name in Grant Scam--(for full details of this.)ALSO, see report from 1-289-892-3965 from this site (800notes.com)for the same letter and fake check report using this phone # instead.

Well... thats really good to know, I actually went to the bank today and they didn't want to cash it, they instead suggested I deposit it... I didn't want to do that, but I just figure i'll give it a try and see what happens.

I got the same letter and the same check from Briggs and stratton dev for 1,995.20 , I called the bank to see if the check was valid and they said it was, but I still feel is a fraud. Anyone know about this?

My husband got a letter supposely from Briggs & Stratton Dev; Inc. In the letter it states that he won a grant for 37,000.  They included a check for 1,995.20 which is supposed to be a deduction from the total grant.  The check looks legit.  They indicated we had to call 1-289-892-4372 before cashing the check.
