Email Scams (ESCAM)

[Susie924]

This isn't an e-mail scam, however it sure looks like a scam.


I get home today and in the mail is this very nice letter from Silver Oaks Invesments, LLC located in Canada. Real nice letterhead paper and looking pretty official. (but I know better)

With the letter is a check made out to me for $3,975.00 and even though I still know better.....this is the most authentic looking fake check I've seen.

The letter goes on to tell me that I've won $33,975.00 and a cruise to the Caribbean.

LOL....the check for $3,975.00 is to "assist" me in paying the processing fee.


The address on the check is from Seal Beach, CA and I did find this online

I also found their name on the list on this website
