I just recieved one of those checks today for 3650 didnt cash it yet. glad i didnt

I received a check, via UK, dated the 27th of February. Everything was the same as in recent postings except I was given an 877 number to call. The amount of the check was $2, 500.00 with $47, 500.00 to come via courier later. I knew immediately that this was a scam but out of curiosity I googled the insurance company name anyway. It was great to find so many others whom had written a warning post. I am turning my letter over to the district attorney so he can use it in his ongoing investigation.

Received a letter dated 14th of April 2010 with UK postage of 31/13/09 referring to a "UK & NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER PROMOTION DRAW" and containing a fake check from Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company. The letter said the check is part payment of a prize, and that you would need to wire the to "offset the statuatory Non British Resident tax" directly to an assigned British Tax officer via western union or money gram. Of course you should do this only after talking to a payment handling officer Mr. Cornel Madison in the tax Office by calling an 866 number listed under a for lease property address in Idaho...

I received a very similar check and letter dated 27 Feb 2012. Differences minor. Fundamentally appears to be a fishing expedition probably to get personal ID information. Thank goodness this website was available when I searched for Farmers Texas County Mutual Insurance Company.
