It appears from the preceding report that not much effort has been made on the part of Manulife Financial to apprehend the perpetrators of this scam.
I just received by US Mail a letter from with a Manulife Financial letterhead and a Check (#7459) for $3950.00 drawn off the Union Bank, N.A., Los Angeles, Ca from Account Number 122000496, Account holder SQUARE ENIX, LLC, 999 Sepulveda Blvd, El Segundo, CA 90245. The letter informs me that I am a winner of $50,000 in the "UK & NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PROMOTION DRAW", and telling me that I need to contact a claim agent named RAY STEVEN at 1-289-981-8275 for furthur instructions on how to claim my winnings. The "Goverment Taxes, Insurance, & Processing Fees" are $2450 US Dollars. The letter is signed by a Sheila Harris (President Finance).
This is obviously a scam, and after reading the above post, I intend to ignore it, but the check and the letter both look quite legit. I am posting this for informational purposes so some other poor sucker does not get hosed by these dirtbags.
