Like the other person who reported these guys back on March 31, Ripoff Report: #588027, I received a "check" and a letter from Micro Financial Inc.  The check is in the amount of $3,859.42, the bank is Bank of the West out of Pasco, Washington.  The company name on the check is Pronto Process Service, Inc., P.O. Box 1194,  Pasco, WA 99301  (I googled Pronto Process Service, and they are evidently a real process service company, although I did not contact them...I am hesitant to have any contact with anyone even remotely connected to this thing...



The letter enclosed with the check starts out by saying, "We are pleased to inform you that you are one of the winners in the second category of International general market survey draw help on February 22, 2010... It goes on to say that I am entitled to the sum of $129,000, and that the enclosed check is to enable me to pay for the taxes on my winnings...  



Interesting that the amounts are exactly those in Report: #588027.  Note:  I did not call "Josh Mathias," the gentleman that they instruct you to call in the letter.  I suspect I would have had a similar experience.  Glad I checked Ripoffreport first!

MICRO FINANCIAL INC.

AUTHOR: Karen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, April 26, 2010

I received a letter with a claim # from Micro Financial Inc dated April 14, 2010 the letter is the same as all others from micro financial inc.  This letter is to inform me that I was a winner in the second category  of International general market survey that was held on Feb. 22, 2010.The letter list serial #'s lucky winning #'s and CLAIM #. the check for $3,859.42 is to pay for tax on my winnings of $129,000.00,.  The check is written on Downeast Bicycle Specialists,178 Porter Road, Fryeburg,ME04037. The Bank  Key Bank N.A. 005260/112


I was to call claim agent, Josh Mathias which I did and was told to deposit to my bank and then call him again. I called today and got the same information that was given to other people receiving this, I ask is this a secret shopper he said not that it was because I shopped at different places that is how they got my name. I ask if this check is good and was told that it was 100% good.

I have not called back nor have I been to my bank to deposit the check..

Please advise on latest information.

Thank  you,
