Donna C | Is the Oceanic Trust claim valid - Ref: US-CAN-2006GRANT?? |
I too, received a letter advising of a winning from a conglomerate of businesses and had received a check which I have deposited. I am waiting for the check to be cleared. I sure hope this is not a "hoax". I researched and researched and could not find a thing to invalidate this. No personal information was requested. Once the tax/fees is sent to an attorney in Houston, Tx, Western Union confirmation will be provided to the Trust claim manager, the bal of the award will then be released and Fed Ex'd to me. Upon delivery, an official picture ID must be presented when signing for the FX package. The letter notes in two places that this is NOT a loan and that it is money won and no repayment is required. If someone else has processed their claim further than I have, please share the results. Thanks |

I received this letter as well today. I called them as well. Wells Fargo will verfiy that it is an account but will not verfiy that the name on the check is correct. Mine says that its from a Maidenform Inc. So instead of being stupid and depositing it my bank i went to a local checks cashed place. They have reported scams from this company and advise not to cash the check or send anyone the money. My response to your question is this. IT IS A SCAM!!!! Always check out checks before depositing it into your bank. Lots of things happen when you do that wether or not you send them money or not. They now have a access to some of your personal banking information its hard to come by but if they are good at what they do then can sure get it. This day and age check out everything before you do what a letter in the mail tells you what to do. So i would tell your bank to look into that account. I will be going to my bank tomorrow to have them check into as well. Banks will tell other banks names and verfiy checks for you. They won't tell you over the phone. So ask you bank to call wells fargo and check it out. They will do it for you. I will go and have it done tomorrow and report to you guys what i find out. You all have a goodnight. |

i too received the same letter with the check of an amount totaling 4,751.00. I deposited and followed nstructions as stated by the representative that answers when you call the number that is on the letter. To make a long story short, The check that was provided with the letter was a FALSE check!!!! I now have to pay 4751.00 + back fees to my bank because of this. Do not deposit check....ITS A HOAX!!!!!!!!! DO NOT FALL IS THE SAME TRAP THAT I DID!!!!!!!! |

Send them the money and that will be the last you hear from them. It's a SCAM. |

I got the same check, verified funds, etc, and did not cash the check. I contacted Maidenform and here is the response I got:
We would like to thank you for contacting us regarding the check & letter that was sent to your attention by Oceanic Trust, Inc. This is a fraudulent check not issued by Maidenform. We are advising anyone who receives this check to please fax, email a scanned copy or mail the letter and check to our Corporate Office:

So, did you send THEM anything? If they come back and say something like, "your award was $5,000, but we are sending you $6,000 - please send us the difference" DON'T DO IT. Another warning - sometimes those checks clear but then later come back as fraudulent. Don't trust a cleared check until a couple of months go by. |

I've been holding this letter and check, thinking... I could surely use the money (who couldn't). But the "It sounds too good to be true" motto has kept me from doing much. From the sounds of it, I'm not the only one to get this and I'm pretty certain that Oceanic Trust, Inc (who has only investigatory information on BBB) does not have millions of dollars to send all of us needy people! If I get this right, we cash our $4000 check to send it to someone to pay the "necessary fees and applicable Foreign Access Taxes" and then they release the remaining funds to us? Okay, sounds fine on the front, but what if I take option B and don't accept the check... I pay the fees out of pocket and get the whole amount! Fees up front for a grant? So, there's my answer, SCAM! I'm shredding the check. Oh, how the Lord knows we could use the money, but it isn't worth losing anything.
And then I post this, shred my letter and check and discover I should have read the response that came before I posted mine! Is there a way to notify someone without the "evidence"? |

I tryed to cash the check.I didn't deposit the check.The teller at the bank said that the check was no good.It is a fraud.I called the "claim manager"to tell him the check was bad and he hung up on me.The teller at the bank told me that someone else deposited the check and paid the fees thinking that they were on the up and up and the check bounced.They keep the money you sent through western union and you pay when the check bounces.Please ask the teller at the bank to run a check on the check. Mine was a Wells Fargo check and I went to wells Fargo to cash it |

I received this same letter and check two days ago. I called the company they sounded shady. I also contacted a lawyer and they advised that it should be shred ed. Sounds to good to be true, and you know if something is to good to be true it probably is. |

I recieved a letter for this grant as well. I know the bank the check is sent from is a valid bank becuase my car loan is through them. So that much i know is not fraudulent. I sent the check to my bank b/c I left a message for the agent to call me back and they have not. That's the only thing I find suspicious that they have not contacted me. But nothing is told to me about sending the money western union. I faxed my claim to them saying I wanted to activate the acct. I felt it is valid b/c I have registered for publisher's clearing house. so hopefully, it is not a scam. I hope that helps you. |

I apparently won 39,000 dollars like the rest of you because i just got my check today for 4,920 to cash and send off to pay for the taxes on my 39,000. Sounds like a scam but i bank at wells fargo and they told me the account is legit but thats all they will say over the phone. Anyone with some cash can open a legit account so that doesnt mean anything either. Sounds like we send the 5 grand and thats it, scams complete! Going to the bank tomorrow to research a little further, sounds to good to be true. Anyone who knows more please reply. Thanks |
