Universal Rewards & Trust, Universal Rewards And Trust Received Suspicious Check in the Mail Toronto Ontario Canada

I received a letter and a check in the amount of $4,875 in a plain white envelope addressed to me at my address using a sticky-back printed mailing label with a Canadian postal cancellation across a single Canadian stamp valued at 96 cents.

Although the return address of the company is in Canada, the return address shown on the check (P.O. BOX 4 WEST POINT, PA 19486) is in the U.S. The issuing U.S. bank on the check is JPMORGAN CHASE BANK in SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.

The date of the check is 07/25/2008, the date of the letter is July 24th, 2008 and the date of the postmark is "080728" which probably translates into July 28, 2008.

I called the "OFFICE LINE" and had a 5 minute conversation with a man on the phone who represented the company. He spoke with a thick African sub-continent accent and put me on "hold" (with a repeating tone) twice during our conversation. He told me to deposit the check, wait until it clears and then call him back at which point I would be given instructions on how to pay the "taxes" on my prize.

I asked to speak with his manager and he said that "He's not here".
