letter from Swiss Financial Securities.  check for 4900.  how do u know if its a scam? has anyone tried to cash it and see what happens?

I got a similar letter and said to do the same from same address. The phone number however was 905/783-2559. Looks real but I think is scam. Mine came in on Nov. 19th 2008. Did you call?

I got a letter in the mail today as well from Swiss Financial Securitis Inc. i figured it was a scam from the way the spelled securities wrong but the check looks so real!!!!

I gat the same letter claiming i won 4995dollars ,but pay the tax of2995.00, this was a scam as soon as i opened the letter, they said they had try to contac me which is a lie and i don,t call anyboudy international, especially when they want mony. Sounds like the old nigeria  woman that wants to deposit 1 million in my checking acount, anyway  please add me as a receipent of this bogus check, Thanks j   Bailey.

Like everyboody ellse I recieved a chack in the amount of $4998 but this time is from           Swiss Financial Securities INC.International Claims Department, 200 4th St Midland ONT. L4R 1Y5              with a phne (905) 783-2559 they change the name amd the amount but thay did not change the promotion manager which is the same name Mary Brown. Isn't this strage not to hunt them down? To me this is the same thing as a terorist does.

Same scam slightyl differant players.
