I received a letter from CONSUMER TRUST, INC. CLAIM #:2090
Final International Home Improvement Grant Notification Ref: US-CAN2007GRANT-06-2090. Randomly selected from Readers digest or by ballot from Home Improvement Stores, and other participating retail stores.
This is our final attempt to settle this aged claim.

They sent a check for $4,955.00 which was to be a deduction from the grant amount of $39,000.00 to assist in paying fees, taxes.

In order to activate my account I was to call and speak with the claim manager before cashing the check. I was to ask for a Tony Young Or Donna Taylor at 1-289-892-4184 where I was asked to repeat my claim number .

I was then told to cash the check and send $2,999.00 To Agent: Hazel Ross
9560 Jones Road Houston, Texas 77065.

Once they receive the payment ,I would receive a check for $35,850.00 within 3 to five business by courier delivery.This Letter was signed by SHANNON NEWMAN V.P. (FOREIGN ACCOUNT DEPT.)

DONORS:
MONEYGRAM, GAP, MCDONALDS, HOMEDEPOT, BLOCKBUSTERS, SEARS WAL*MART, WESTERS UNION, BEST BUY, GENERAL ELECTRIC, HITACHI, OFFICE DEPOT, WENDYS, GM, L'KORAL,LLC, COSTCO, MICROSOFT, IBM, A GREENIER APPLE, ADM, TOSHIBA, PANASONIC, EXON MOBILE

My house needs a new roof it leaks, my cooler does not work and I am on SOCIAL SECURITY Trying to make it on $674.00 a month. So when I got this It was like God had answered my prayers. But I heard from my bank today that the check was no good.

I called that number 1-289-892-4184 and when I told them the check was no good they hung up on me. Call back an got the answering machine. go figure.

Crooks Abound all around.

#4 Consumer Suggestion

You got 419 scammed.

AUTHOR: Fat Old Sweaty Elvis - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, June 21, 2008

Consumer Trust did not send you a check. Some scammer in Nigeria sent you a check. You didn't win any random number selection and there is no "aged" account.

Red Flags:

1. A google search shows that there is no company called "Consumer Trust" doing the kind of business you describe. Weren't you curious enough about who was sending you money to look them up?

2. You should never wire money to somebody you don't know. That's why Western Union and Moneygram have warnings all over their websites, offices, and forms. Didn't you read any of the paperwork or any of the signs?

3. This is the most well-known scam in the short history of the internet. Was filing this ROR your first time online?

NONE of the companies you list as being accomplices had anything to do with this scam. The problem is you let greed get the best of you and ignored all the warning signs.
