Yup, I got the same letter, though it's from "PowerPOINT Financial Inc", same address in Ontario, same check amount, though drawn on "Bank of the West, West Covina, CA".It's a scam.  First, it was sent in a plain envelope with no return address.  No legitimate agency is going to send a check for $4890 and a notification of winning $250K without making someone sign for it... or at least they'd have their return address on the envelope!The check looks real, and may be, but I guarantee it's either not their account or there is no money in it; either way, if you try to cash it, you'll be charged a bounced check fee, and they're off the hook because in the letter they stated "do not attempt to use this check until you call".Also, the letter states there is a "tax amount of $2895.00... to be paid by either Moneygram or Western Union."  Uff-da!  And THAT is how you know this IS a SCAM.  Any offer that requires you to make any financial transaction by wire is a scam... and if you do, that money is GONE... you can't get it back, and the person receiving it is all but untraceable.  Don't be a sucker!!!I *am* surprised they are using "PowerPoint" as their name now.  Hmmm... well, if the Canadian and US feds can't shut down these guys, I bet MicroSoft could... I think I'll forward the letter I got to Bill Gates and let him go after them for trademark infringement!

I also received the same letter & check same claim # & ticket serial #
as W.L Curry Jr. Mine is also Howard bank in Ellicott City MD. I also called Bill Hensley & he answered and said to deposit the check, then call back. A sure sign of a scam

Any check that is received with the company name Woodland Securities or Powerpoint Inc @ 54 Scott Adam Road Suite 206 Hunt Valley, MD 21030 is a fake.  A simple search on Yahoo for "54 Scott Adam Road Suite 206 Hunt Valley, MD 21030" gives you the name of the of company that was victimized with the fraudulant use of their checking account information.

the name is just a nick name and by no means am I stupid,I to received the same letter same check same #dh/sul-0011 dated Feb. 13 08 maybe this jerk would like to host a group meeting with a few of the hard working people he`s  trying to rip off!!! Pay it no mind or money.THANKS BUT NO THANKS,Bill and Laura in Ont. Canada!

Mailing list! Did you ever order a mailing list? Then you are now part of the list!

Yep this is still going. My check was also drawn on Citizens Bank, Rutland, Vermont. Claim number is also the same DH/SUL-0011. Contacts Bill Hensley and Laura Morgan.
Isn't there anything to do to get these guys?
