Today, May 17 in a plain envelope with no return address. The stamp was Canadian.inside was a letter dated May 9 from a company named "First Group Operating Company, LLC." It was address to my husband and headed: Award Claim Final Notification - Ref #:*/*.
Our 'prize' amount is said to be $76,650.00 and a check was enclosed for $3,969.99. We could not imagine receiving a check of this amount by regular mail, especially with no return address.
There was a signature at the bottom of 'Sonya Fletcher, Director Claims & Credit Control' and the address (rather just a PO Box) of the Head Office printed below that.
I went on-line and found nothing ini my search for 'First Group Operating Company' but did find the name of the bank to be legitamate, as well as the name on the check of the 'supposed' holder of the prize 'Old United Life Insurance Company" but were still sceptical.
After finding this website, we certainly will not bother with this matter any further, but will retain the envelope, check and letter in case any of these things may be needed in the future.
