I received a letter from Harborside Financial Services with a check in the amount of $2,990.00 made out to me with Morgan Stanley in the left hand corner, but supposedly drawn on Citibank Delaware, check number 00000806267 from Harborside
Financial Services Plaza II, 1st Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07311. The letter claims that I am the winner of unclaimed funds in the amoun of $85,000 (I wish)!!! Gives a number to call to claim your prize. Yeah right, this is the third one of these in 2 weeks that I have gotten. Two weeks ago I got a check for $4,982 which I deposited and it came back as a forgery. Thursday I got a check for %2,600 and when I called Chase Bank, because that was the bank it was drawn on, the routing number was good, the account number was closed. When I called the company whose name was in the left hand corner, Malino & Associates out of NYC, the woman who answered the phone told me that someone had stolen the account number. I called the National Sweepstakes Company back and asked why they were sending out checks on an account that was closed and she told me that wasn't possible. I told her that I talked with the bank and that they told me the account was closed, she said that it could be because it was a certified cashiers check!! Well we know that's not the case, I sent an email to Chase's Fraud department as well as the NJ Crime Commission....maybe someone will listen?

I just recieved a check too-Harborside Financial Services, Inc
AUTHOR: Tanya - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, April 22, 2007
I am so glad to see that someone else has some info to share on this. I just received a check from Harborside Financial Services at 228 King Street, Midland ON L4R3M2: Telephone# 905-920-2721 and fax# 705-526-0099. My contact was a Sandra Williams. The check looks ligitimate, but I am very leary with all the identity theft going on so I decided to check this out further. My check was for $2980.00 and I was told I won some online Sweepstakes for $47,000 and that the check for $2980 covers admin payments and clearance fees since I am not a Canandian resident. I was told to cash the check and wire the $2980 to a Tamara Peters at 1320 Sunset Blvd Suite 204 Montreal, Quebec. I would then get a confirmation code from this Tamara and then to contact Sandra Williams back with the code and 2 lottery officials would deliver my $47,000 to my door within 3-5 business days.
What does this scam gain from any of this? I haven't cashed the check and will plan to contact Southern Welding Supply, in Savanna,GA who issued the check and find out about this. I also have the number for the bank "Darby Bank & Trust Co" in Vidalia, GA that I will also contact. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I did ask this Sandra Williams to give me a telephone number for Tamara Peters or to prove that this wasn't a scam and she couldn't do either. She claims that she doesn' have information on the "Sponsors" which are claimed to be the issuers of the check and for me to contact the Sponsors for further information.
Thank you again for your comments as this confirms my suspicion of this scam. If you don't pay attention to the letter you may end up depositing the check without a second thought
Thanks again

I sent one a few minutes ago, but I left out information. I received a letter from Harborside financial services, stating that I won $85,000 dollars and a check for$ 2, 990 was with the letter.
I contacted the company to see if this was legitimate and they said that it was legitimate, and to cash it at the bank and call back after it's cashed for information on how to send the money through money gram at Walmart.
The $2,990 was for Administrative payment and clearance fees according to them. After sending the money through money gram at Walmart, they said I would receive a check for $85,000 within 24 hours by FED EX.
My bank confiscated the check and said it they were giving it to the police because it was a fraudulent check.
My husband and I are devasted and people like that need to be prosecuted for the problems they have caused us. I have been on the phone with the company about 10 times today, with a woman named Stacey and she assured me that it was real. But the last call with her I asked for Morgan Stanley's number so I could contact them and she said that she didn't have it on her.
I am supposed to call her back tomorrow. I want these people prosecuted for the pain they have put us through.
The address on the letter is Harborside financial services

I received a letter from Harborside financial services stating that I won $85,000 dollars and there was a check enclosed for $2,990. I called the company and they said that I needed to cash the check and call back to get information where to send the money.

Within 24 hours by Fed Ex I would receive a check for $85,000 Please do not fall for this scam. I am so glad that my bank confiscated the check, because it was a fraudulent check.
