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.
