readers Digest send me a letter with a check of 989.00 dlls from a end of the year sweepstakes that i had won. It says to call Berry Beaver or Carol Munro so they can activate the check and deposit the check in to your bank. I gave them a call asking them what was all this about, Berry said I was winner and that I just needed to deposit the check and to call him back so he can give me the rest of the instructions. I said to him how would i know if this is a scam. So he said just do what i told you and call back tomorrow. and hang up. The check was made from LIFE INVESTORS INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA... anybody with the same info makesure you dont fall for it, it is a scam and the only thing they want is your money.

Life Investors Insurance company of Iowa and All State Financial of Canada

The Original Ripoff Report Title:
Life Investors Insurance Company from Iowa
Beware of this company and All State Financial out of Canada Cedar Rapids


I recieved a letter saying that I won $250,000.00 for shopping at Walmart, sears and or HomeDepot. They also Inclosed a check for $4,966.45 with this letter.. The letter was Sent from All State Financial from Cananda and says that I won this Money and that all I have to do is pay the Canadian Tax on it. I was like ok so why the check. (the check can not be cashed) it's just a idea for you to have of what you will recieve for the rest of your life type of crap! whats the catch---> well the catch is that you have to Pay the Tax first before the send you any money! BONG!!!! Something goes off in my head This is a scam. I asked why would I have to send the tax first of $3,957.21 when your company can easly take it out of the winnings first. then send me the defference. Well they said thats not the case here, you need to send that money first and we will send you your $250,000.00...

I held the phone closer and yelled to the top of my lungs THIS IS A SCAM!!!!! and hung up! Come on a company that says you won money but in order to get the money you have to pay taxes or processing fees are nothing but scams..

Never try to deposit and large amount of money from a company you never heard of, cause when you do the check gets returned to them and the funds bounch and behind the check has all your personal info,, SS#, Lic# date of birth, your name and your signature! And Never give them your Phone Number or Social to verify anything.. Thats how they get you!
