I received a $4,341.00 check which was to be an advance on covering insurance, shipping and handling fees. I called the number and was informed that Mr. Joe William was not in and a gentleman with a foreign accent informed me that he could handle activating my check. I gave him the Pin number that came with the check. He asked me what my phone numbers were and that I need to go by the bank in the morning and deposit my check. After reading the two reports that you had posted on the internet I thought I would forgo this action. The funny thing is I have been receiving phone calls from Jamaica too trying to get me to send several hundred dollars to an account in VA. When I look them up on the internet using map quest, it was out in the middle of nowhere. I wish to let everyone know that don't I mean don't give any money over the phone or deposit checks from anyone that you cannot verify. The FBI needs to go after these guys and if I have not been burned in the past I too would have been buying this scam. They make it too real. Now I will need to change my work and cell phone numbers but the good news is, I don't have to close any bank accounts. The check is from Fleet Bank Boston, MA and the Payee is Brockton Insurance Inc., located at 680 Centre St. Brockton, MA 02303-3395. If there is anything the authorities need from me i will be more than happy to provide them with documentation. I am a retired Veteran and the last thing I want to see is anyone in this nation ripped off by a scam.
