My 78 year old mother received a letter on March 26, 2010, that she had won the Super Seven Contest and had won $250, 000.00. They had enclosed a check for $4885.00 to cover costs of taxes and she was supposed to call a Tom Howard and then deposit the check into her account and wire him the sum of $2985.00. The letter stated to keep it confidential and not say anything to anyone.
The letter was signed by a Morris Lexington.
Then the check that was enclosed for the $4885.00 was drawn on Commerce Bank in Marlton, New Jersey and was from a company by the name of Fashions by Penina also in Marlton, NJ.
Have been trying to contact someone at that company to see if they know that there name and checks are being used in this scam but unable to contact anyone yet. Check is signed by a Leonard last name unreadable and a Ronald Dalton (no sure on last name).
Another friend recieved the exact same letter with all the same information except their check was drawn on a Company in Texas.
Looks like they are aiming for the senior citizens.
What a shame.
By the way the Universal Trust and Finance Company is supposed to be based out of Cananda.
Be careful!
