U.S. Treasury Checks are being sent to victims in Nigerian-style counterfeit check schemes. Thursday, Sep. 8, 2005 We have received word today that a victim drawn into a Nigerian 419 Scam Letter scenario was sent a U.S. Treasury Check for several thousand dollars. According to the Secret Service Agent (Bank Fraud Div) with whom I spoke, the check was most likely washed. Then the victim's name was inserted and the dollar amount was changed. If you receive a U.S. Treasury check that does not come in an official brown U.S. Treasury envelope, with a non-cellophane window for the name and address of the recipient listed on the check, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Immediately contact your nearest Secret Service Field Office. You'll find the list here: http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml If you are not in the United States, please DO NOT TOUCH THE CHECK and contact us immediately: http://www.fraudaid.com/before_contact.htm from Fraud Aid's Lottery Scam Alerts: http://www.fraudaid.com/ScamSpam/Lottery/lottery_scam_alerts.htm |
