I received a letter dated May 31 stating that I was one of the 20 international winners to aboard Intrepid Ocean Linear. A genuine looking check of $2,925.15 drawn from SunTrust Bank was included in the letter. The letter went on to say that I would be paid a balance of $47,074.85.
I called to make enquire and asked for Kathy Williams. A woman answered the phone and she said she was Kathy Williams. She asked me to deposit the check, and called her after the check was clear. I called the next day and talked to her again. This time she asked me to send $2400 money gram to the following person and address.
Michelle Thomas

I was lucky to find this website before calling here. Therefore, I did not send the money gram. I was lucky to find this website before making the call. Therefore, I did not send the money gram. I also notified my bank about the fraudulent check I deposited. I was told by the bank to wait until the check was turned, and that the bank could not do anything against this kind of fraud. What a disappointment!
