I recieved a check in the mail from this company for 4960.00 that they had stated was to help pay taxes and fees on a home improvement grant that I never applied for. The grant was for 39000.00 they claim they were holding in an escrow account for me and I had a deadline to activate my check and pay the taxes and fees before they could release my grant money. It all sounded ok except, I didn't apply for a grant for home improvement, and getting a grant for college takes a lot of paperwork, so that was 1 red flag. 2nd red flag on the back of this letter it states that no 3rd party involvement will be tolerated and the letter must stay at home at all times. Duh! The check was drown on a band check from the First National Bank A L A S K A.
The company also goes under the name COMMUNITY TRUST, INC. But the check is from Mad Al Distributors, a division of Ry River, Inc. A company based in Ankorage, AK. Anyway I just wanted people to remember if it sounds too good to be true... It usually is a scam!!!
