RD Services Frank Lucas Readers Digest Scam still alive. Frank Lucas still at it in 2009 Skokie Illinois

Just wanted everyone to know that the fake check scam claiming you have won a prize from Readers Digest is still going on. I received a letter from RD Services today signed by a Frank Lucas (514)570-3233 along with a check for 3,060.75 claiming that I had won the 3rd grand prize of $150,000.oo and that they were sending me this check to cover insurance, handling duty and taxes fees. I was told not to cash the check until I called.

So I did, knowing full well this was a scam. He did answer and I flat out asked him if this was a scam and he said no why would I think that. He said he didnt want any personal info or even my social security number. He answered all my questions as if I were a stupid idiot and wanted to make sure I cashed the check today. He even told me what to tell the bank in case they questioned the check.

The check even looks like a photocopy on the back. I searched the web and found most info on this to be from 2007 and 2008 and I just wanted people to be aware that he is still out there. The company whose checks he is using in my case is from PENSION Financial Services Inc. I checked their website and they are aware of the scam and advise that these checks will not be honored at the bank. I also contacted the attorney generals office in PA who said they are also aware of this person.
