[Vision2020] K & G Funds

Sun Feb 4 20:12:24 PST 2007

Sue;

Contact the AG's office in Boise - I bet they already have a file going on 
these guys.  The more complaints they get, the more apt they are to look 
into it and certainly more apt to put the warnings out there so other people 
know what's what.

>>>Hi There,
>>>
>>>Has anyone received a letter from K&G Funds with a check for $2,896.64
>>>drawn on Firstmerit Bank in Cleveland, OH, stating you have won a bundle 
>>>of
>>>money and you may cash the check to use for payment of processing fees? 
>>>We
>>>got the check today (Feb 3) with instructions to do all this by Feb 2.  
>>>We
>>>would have received it about a week ago, but our mail is being forwarded 
>>>to
>>>us from home.  Golly, I think we just missed out on our fortune.
>>>
>>>Anyway, I can't figure out what the scam is.  The very legitimate looking
>>>letter has a note:  UPON CASHING THIS CHECK WITHOUT USING IT FOR THE
>>>PURPOSE OF PAYING YOUR PROCESSING FEE WILL RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION.
>>>
>>>The letter comes from Richmond Hill, Ontario, with the correct amount of
>>>postage .93 and no postmark.  I checked the bank on the Internet and one 
>>>is
>>>listed with the address given, but with a different phone number.  There 
>>>is
>>>also a number to call K&G Funds, so we did.  A little voice at the end of
>>>the voice mail informs the caller the mail box is full and can take no 
>>>more
>>>messages.
>>>
>>>And yes, our total payout is $192,850.00 which will be paid to us from 
>>>the
>>>"Lottery Agent in charge of our winnings."  They even give us a lottery
>>>ticket number and a reference number.
>>>
>>>Once in a while I have bought lottery tickets for stocking stuffers at
>>>Christmas for our adult children and their spouses.  And I haven't done
>>>that in a couple of years, maybe more.
>>>
>>>Does anyone have an idea where they should be reported, or what we should
>>>do?   I am very sure it's some sort of scam.  This isn't your typical
>>>letter from a Nigerian down on his luck.  It looks REAL.  I also assume
>>>mailing it from Canada may mean they aren't within the legal jurisdiction
>>>of U.S. authorities.
>>>
>>>This little voice keeps telling me, "cash the check", but if you know
>>>Norman you know he doesn't take idiotic risks just to see what might
>>>happen.  And besides, the check is made out to him.
