Home improvement Grants?
September 29th, 2007 | by admin |gary_0064 asked:
Just received a notification from HFI stating that I have been awarded a Home Improvement Grant in the amount of approx $50,000 and that I was randomly selected from either readers digest,Publishers clearing house ,computer data Base and etc..I must call a number to claim the winnings and enclosed was a real check for about 10% .. Said I must call and answer questions with a agent in order to recieve the balance.. what is the catch? Has anybody else recieved such a notice ? Got to be a catch of some kind, The check looks real , but I’m sure there is much more to this. .Any help on how this might work? Thanks

Warning, Check out the phone number on the letter with a reverse lookup. If you don’t hit a real address that’s the first warning. See if the name of the company is listed in the yellow pages. Don’t deposit the check yet. Research the bank it is drawn on too and call them to inquire about the company.
I was just scamed by Pattison Award Services with the same plot, but I happened to win a Sweepstake.
