I received a scam letter in the mail from PACO AMERICA DIRECT GRANT representing "The Grants Association" with a grant announcement of $50,500. Enclosed with the scam letter was a check for $3,990.67 and a promise for an additional $45,000 sent via DHL, FEDEX or UPS in 2 days after paying their "commission fee" of $5,500.
They claim that my "approval documentation" was sent to them by the "Grant Broad of Commission" (they couldn't even spell "Board" correctly). However, I've not applied for any grant which "can be used to start a small business, pay tuition fees, make a down payment on a home, and do housing repairs or to pay medical bills", quoted from the letter.
The check has SOPUS PRODUCTS identified as the payor of the check and it appears authentic. Also, SOPUS PRODUCTS appears to be a legitimate company that makes household products.
