divatude | Is it a scam? I got a check in the mail should I cash it? |
HAS ANY ONE EVER HEARD OF THE DOMINION GROUP INC. I got a letter in the mail with a check that says that "This grant is a prize you won. It is not a loan and does not require repayment. They sent me a check to pay the taxes on a bigger amount I had possibly won, I have tried to find this group and can't find nothing on them. I was just wondering if any one else has heard of them. They told me before I cash this check to call and activate the account so they know that I have the check at hand and that I have to pay the taxes before I get the bigger sum of money. |

Is a scam. They're looking to get your bank account information. If you provide it, they'll try to steal money from your account.. |

If you weren't expecting the check, I would not cash it, just put it in the shredder and forget about it. |

Of course it's a scam. |

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. This is most likely a scam. |

1. Were you expecting a check in the mail?
2. Did you enter any contest???
Question??? How could you win, when you did not even enter???
Total Scam
They will ask you to WIRE them money to cover some bogus fee, when you cash the check IT WILL BOUNCE. |

This is a weird one.
Usually when there's a question of if it's a scam or not, all you have to do is google the company name and complaints upon complaints will come up. You can also usually check RipOffReport.com and find plenty of angry victims of the scam. However, I did a pretty thorough search online, through different search engines and fraud websites-- and was not able to find a single thing.
There's definitely a possibility that this is a brand new scam and you're the first to tell anyone about it. There's also a SLIM chance it MIGHT be legitimate.
Here's what I would do, and what I HAVE done when in a similar situation. Call the number they gave you and see what you have to do to "activate the account." If you call and are asked for personal information-- any information including address (shouldn't they already have that?) mother's maiden name, credit card and/or banking information, social security number, etc-- then you know it's a fraud. This means that even if they say they just need the credit card number to verify who you are and that they wont charge it-- it's untrue. If they tell you that you need to pay anything, that's a red flag too.
If activating the account just consists of picking a username and password, go for it. When you cash the check, go to the bank it was issued from (it would say this on the front of the check, i.e., Bank of America) and cash it from there. If you cash it where it was issued from, you do not need to have an account at that bank and therefore there's no way they'll get any personal information from you. ALSO, by doing so, you'll know right away if the check cleared.
Again, odds are it wont be that simple. It sounds very sketchy, so keep your personal information to yourself and don't fall victim.
Best Wishes! |

ITS A SCAM I JUST GOT A CHECK IN THE MAIL FOR $4,950 WITH MY NAME AND ADDRESS ON IT. I WENT TO A CHECK CASHING PLACE AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS FAKE THEY CALLED THE BANK ON THE CHECK AND SAID THE CHECK WAS FAKE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR CHECK FRAUD IF YOU CASH IT. TRUST ME THROW IT AWAY. OR GIVE IT TO THE POLICE. AND ALSO I GOT A THING ABOUT I WON THE LOTTO IN THE U.K. AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY A TRANSFER FEE OF LIKE A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLORS THEN THEY WOULD TRANSFER. REMEMBER ANYTHING INVOLVES WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM IS FAKE. HIT ME UP AND SEND ME AN E-MAIL FOR MORE INFO. MY NAME IS WALTER I LIVE IN JAX, FLORIDA |

Go to ripoffreport.com. There's 2 reports on the site so far that pertain to Dominion Group. I also received a letter from them, & spent half of it, (in my head), before I went to Ripoff Report. They didn't really answer your question with a definite response, but I, for one, have already shredded mine. BE CAREFUL if you do pursue it. Good Luck. |
