My daughter had recieved a letter a few years ago and it caused her all kinds of trouble. When I recieved this letter, I had a feeling that it was a scam, so I got online and found out that I was right. I was lucky and didn't put the check into my bank or even take the time to call this Richard Young to find out that it was a scam. The check enclosed is drawn on CITIBANK, N.A. and the company name at the top of the check is Suncoast Elevator, Co.

SUNCOAST FINANCIAL SCAM

AUTHOR: Suncoast Elevator - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, November 08, 2008

COMMENT FROM SUNCOAST ELEVATOR CO, / SCAM VICTIM

CHECKS MAILED WITH SUNCOAST FINANCIAL LETTERS ARE REPRODUCTIONS OF A CHECK STOLEN FROM SUNCOAST ELEVATOR CO.

WE BELIEVE THE SCAM IS OF FRENCH CANADIAN ORIGIN. LOCAL GLENDALE, CA AUTHORITIES DECLINED ANY INVESTIGATION SO WE ARE LEFT TO SPECULATE REGARDING ORIGIN, HOWEVER THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION BEING CONDUCTED BY ACCOUNT HOLDERS BANK.

CHECKS PRESENTED FOR DEPOSIT WILL BE CONFISCATED AS PART OF THE BANK INVESTIGATION. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEPOSIT AS RETURNED CHECKS WILL BE DEBITED AGAINST VICTIMS ACCOUNT.

SUNCOAST ELEVATOR CO.
