I got the same check as the people listed above....someone needs to do something about these people.....this would have been a blessing to me and I am sure to all the others that are getting them and do not have access to the web who would fall for this...I tried calling the Lewis McGregor and the message say the mailbox is full........So what can we do about such as this and how does a finicial instution like Wells Fargo get their name on these checks?

I also got the same check. Did not call the # came right to google and checked it out her. Thank God my son showed how to us google. Would like to know what the scam is. If any one finds out please post

So being said do you think your check is real

Actually the number in my letter was (416) 731-9361 (Toronta, Canada) and it was Waterbury Securities out of New York, NY on the letter.  The check had Waterbury Securities out of Naples, Fl.  When I did a search on the address in Naples it was a company called Inovo and they were an oxygen, healtcare implement provider.  The check was drawn on Liberty Bank.  The names in the letter were Lewis McGregor and Barbara Bryan.

My mother got the letter from waterhouse securities inc saying to call the number before cashing the check, I called and actually had the guy answer, he immediatly asked for my phone number, when I wouldn't give it to him he got angry and said to either give him my number or hang up and stop wasting his time. I hung up on him. Don't be fooled.
