A couple of weeks ago I got a check that I have won a sweepstakes to share winnings. The check had the name Magnolia Arabians heading on it. I called the number for a Mr. Allen Grant. A guy with a accent instructed me to deposit the check and call him back.instead I checked it out on the net, sure enough Magnolia Arabians is a horse breeding farm in Florida.
Somehow these people are writing checks off a account they closed do to the bougus checks coming to them. Also when I questioned the guy about the horse farm he said they were their sponser. So I shredded the check and went on with life.
Until today I received in the mail, I now have won another sweepstakes. The instuctions are the same the names and headings are different. This time it is Rainbow Financial Trust, with check under Rainbow Light. Needless to say I won't be cashing this one either. I wish winning money was this easy. Both were post marked from Canada. I don't know how they are getting the names but public beware.
I am thankful for these kinds of fourms as they keep us all aware. I feel sorry for the ones who do not have a computer to check out these things. Somebody please stop them as they are relentless.
