(425) 440-8914

A letter from a Mr. Davis Michel , President , [email protected] , claims that I have won a contest from T.J.X. Companies in the amount of US$110,000.00 .  It includes a check for $3985.50 to cover expenses relating to US Government Bond Fees in the amount of $2,900.00. It asks that I call the above number ( 425-440-8914 ) at extension 204 to talk to a Barbara Brown to discuss the terms of my winnings and to****ign a Government Bond Agent to process my winnings and collect fees.The check claims to be from the T.J.X. Companies located 2285 Glene Str ,  Framingham , MA 01701 and is drawn on the Bank of New York Mellon in Everett , MA 02149 .  The letter is on poorly printed letterhead from the Lana Corporation Inc.  c/o  T.J.X. Companies Inc. 705 Yonge St. Es*** , MD  21210 and was postmarked in Ca***a with a return address of P. O. Box 16550 Richmond Hill, ON L4C 4Z3 ,   LANA Corporation refers to itself as handing "Brokerage Services, Loans, Mortgage Bailout and Refinancing".  No further usable information is available about LANA Corporation.The letter also refers to a number of other retail companies within the US, many of whom are compe***ors ( J.C. Penny, Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Kohl's, Kmart, Macy's Circuit City, Best Buy etc) and are not really****ociated within the T.J.X. Companies holdings.Further investigation also ties information within this letter to the phone number 16478300383 which is attached to adverts in Munich, Germany for customer service reps, and complaints about a check scam regarding a trips that have been won.  (647)830-0383 is a cell phone registered to the Toronto, Ontario area.  (425)440-8914 appears to be a number based in Bellevue, WA in the US.  It is a land line maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. - Wa with an equipment code of BLLVWASHDS0 .   Similar complaints have been filed a***nst numbers maintained by Ymax Communications Corp. in other locations across the US.For some reason, both the check, and the letter, have the wrong US Zipcode for my home address.  It also seems that from the information in the address that whatever information was given to this company was originally obtained from Best Buy corporation.  It appears that Best Buy has sold my contact information to someone else.Metadata for search purposes:Numbers referenced in this complaint:1425440891442544089141-425-440-8914425-440-8914(425)440-8914(425) 440-8914BLLVWASHDS01647830038364783003831-647-830-0383647-830-0383(647)830-0383(647) 830-0383Names referenced in this complaintDavis MichelBarbara BrownYul KingEmail addresses referenced in this complaint:[email protected] Addresses referenced in this complaint:T.J.X.

I got a letter that I won a sweepstakes (many people got the same letter) and the woman's name was Barbara Brown at this number.  The number is unpublished. The address of the company the check came from was incorrect as was the address that the letter came from. Their zip code was incorrect, street didn't exist.  I'm going to call the bank that issued the check to find out what the deal is because someone should know about these scams!
