Well I am the latest. I know a SCAM when I see it! I am also happy to see this website. My letter was from Readers Digest Inc. 3647 Ash St., Palo, Alto, CA 94306 with at ph# of 647-219-3789. The letter was a final notice and states Readers Digest has been contacted by Publisher Clearing House to track down winners. I was to call a Mr. Murphy Will 1 at 647-994-3068. The check was for $3628 and I was to send $2996.10 via Western Union, and I keep $631.90 ( how gracious) sign by Vernon Kimberly.

My mother came home today all excited about winning $125,000 from a Readers Digest Sweepstakes. We then realized the letter came from "Mental Health Center" somewhere in Canada. They sent a check for $3,753 dollars and wanted us to send back $2,999.97 to cover taxes for our "grand prize." Luckily I did a little research and found this to be a hoax.

I, too, just today (10/30/9) received a 'Reader's Digest, Inc.,' check for $3,723.00 from a 'Publisher's Clearing House and Compensation Draw Sweepstakes' drawn on G & H Services', Inc., account in Mt. Pleasant, TN, and from Ridgeway Savings Bank of Ridgeway, NY. The telephone # (647-864-5105) says San Francisco, but the 647 Area Code is Ontario, Canada. The male who answers sounds to be from India. Ridgeway Bank says its a forgery. Oregon AG says its a scam and to "frame" it. Good luck!!!
