I got the same exact letter. SCAM SCAM SCAM. I am a police officer and will be reporting this to the FBI fraud division in my area. Do not call these people or even attempt to cash the check. Money is not for free, and if you never entered a drawing...come on...really.

My roommate just got the same message. He was told that he won over 100,000 from a sweepstakes associated with Walmart, Home Depot or Sears. He argued that he believes it was legit, say, "I didn't have to spend a dime,"... he then went to cash the $4000.00 check, then sent the money via western union. If things are too good to be true, then they probably are. I hope for his sake, the check is legit... but, I highly doubt it is! Its unfortunate that people have to screw others over, but, hey... this seems to be happening all over. They seem to pick the obvious "American" companies for their scam. Beware of BS!!

I recieved a letter from this same address todat, June 11,2008. Although it says it is from P>T>B> Financial services INC. 1004 Airport rd St. John NF Canada A1B3X5. it says i won 250,000.00 in the compensation draw, organized for american and candian customers of Walmart, Sears and Home Depot in conjunction with the sweepstakes association of North America. I called the agent listed, Gerry Smith 1778316-7220 and was also sent a check for 4,980.00 to pay the non resident government service tax payable to a Jana Henderson 287 18th avenue St John Canada by moneygram...this smith guy kept telling me that this is legitamite and to deposit the check into my bank tommorrow, then call him back for further instructions. I questioned this from the get-go but really questioned his legallity when during our call I kept hearing his dog barking in the background...not many employers allow dogs in a place of business(HA) the letter is also signed by a promotions manager named collin Bush but his signature looks like it sayssomebody joe. I just happened to research this sweepstakes association and found all these postings....SCAM!!!! I now will be turning this letter and check over to the proper authorities although 250,000 would have been a blessing to my family whom we have all just been laid off due to the housing situations and are falling further and further in debt. Thanks for the heads up onthis address...

My husband received a letter today with a check in the amount of $4,620. It was drawn on Century Bank in Sarasota, Fl. The letter states he is the winner in the COMPENSATION DRAW for American & Canadian customers of Wal-Mart, Sears & Home Depot. He is entilted to a sum of 250K. Now get a load of who his agent is...Donald Lucky. I am wondering if Sears, Wal-Mart & Home Depot know they are a part of this scam. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

i got the same letter so i called mary richards, and told her i cashed the check at a instant cash check station,i told her they could keep the 250.000 i was content with the 4,730 she got so mad and told me it's not my money and to send it to rachel king, i then told her it's no fun when the scam gets played on you she then hung up.

i receive the letter and thank god i remember the scam the nigerians were doing i send on tv i turned over the letter to the authorities

I got the letter today. What tipped me off was the check amount was $4,590.00 to cover $3,810.00 tax fee. These scams then ask you to return the excess money before they will release the prize money, but I don't know what the whole scam is. I'm just not seeing the big picture at the moment. What happens when you deposit the check? Do these low lifes get into your account and steal from you? I'm a disabled vet on meds, I know a scam, but I may not know how it scams you. Can someone explain this one?

I got the letter today. I knew it was a scam, "if it's too good to be true..." I looked up 1-778-316-6345 & found this site.I'm a disabled vet on meds and I'm not seeing the big picture right now. How do you get scammed by cashing a check? Do the Canadians get your bank account info and rob you? Would someone explain how the whole scam works?

Recieved the letter, took it to the bank today and the bank had nothing to say about it. So I am on my way back tomarrow morning to cancel to deposit of the check because they are going to hold it anyway. Thank god!!!!!

I got the same scam letter and my rep name is Gerry Smith and the company's name was PTB Services, Inc., 1004 Airport Rd, St. John NF Canada, AIB3X5. Claim #PTB-2194-08. Please feel free to call him all hours of the day and night to mess with him. I am going to be a thorn in his side for a loooooooong time... or until he changes his bogus number.
