Consumer Rewards Program Scam
A mail order scam group has recently stolen the logo of The Geisheker Group Marketing Firm (my company) and is contacting people stating they have won a consumer rewards program and they will be given a check for $8,000.00. THIS IS A SCAM. The scam artists send you a counterfeit check from Coppermark Bank and ask that you cash it to pay taxes on the money you have won. Then they ask you to send them money via Western Union to pay the tax bill. What happens is the check they give you to deposit in your bank is returned a week later as a fake check and your deposit is reversed. By this time you have already sent the scam artists the tax payment by Western Union and you have lost your money. DO NOT CASH THE FAKE CHECK THEY GIVE YOU AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SEND THE COMPANY ANY MONEY.
Please note that the real Geisheker Group is a very reputable marketing firm that has had its identity stolen. Yes, identity theft can happen to businesses too. We at The Geisheker Group are working with the FBI and the Green Bay Police Department to catch these criminals.

I just received a letter and cashiers check from Canada. They are apparently using a different company's identity - Strategic Marketing Inc. It is the same scam as what was mentioned - A cashiers check for $985.56 and a letter saying I won $8,000.00 in the Consumer's Reward Program. Be on the lookout for all of these scams - remember if it sounds too good to be true it usually is!!!!
I received one also; same mo; guess its to the post office antifraud div. with it. Po
I received one also. It says its from Barnes Marketing on the top, and Strategic Marketing in the background. The amount was $986.88 on the check that came with it, and the lump sum was for $8000.00. The addresses it came from are 985 Ridgeway St. Pickering, ON. on the letterhead. and on the check it says Trenton Place, Walton, MA 02451. the check is from citizens bank Massachusetts. check was signed by CMantz. Promotion Manager is Lloyd Formerly, no signature on letter. Claims agent Hayley Brown 1-905-598-3019. this is a cell phone number out of Ontario, Canada. Fax# 1-206-600-4617 is a landline out of Seatle Washington. I couldn't access the names without payin for it on yellowpages.com. there's a web page for the bank, but when u call the phone number, the teller cant hear u, and the number the automated system gives u for check varification is just dead air when u call 1-900-263-4000. The check is very real looking with water spots and everything. do not be fooled!!!!!

I just received a letter and check for 986.88 using Barnes marketing firm. The check was from Citizens Bank Massachusetts. So watch out for this one too.
I am from California and also received this phony check, I thought I was went the stamp was from Canada, this summer I received a mystery shopper check and was asked to forward money via western union, yeah right!
anyway the this new check is from Barnes Marketing out of Trenton Place Walton Ma, the letterhead is Barnes Marketing 985 Ridgeway St Pickering ON M2H J6P, check does look so real drawn on Citizens Bank MA
I just received a letter also from Atlantic Marketing, regarding their consumer rewards program. I won $8000.00 with a check of $978.13ready to cash - sure!!! Funny that the letter and the check are from two different address- one in Ajax, ON and the other from Iselin, NJ (with no P.O. Box number. I'm also instructed to call the number as soon as i get the letter for further instructions It is signed my Llyod Formerly....the "promotion manager"
thanks for the other posting - this is frawd - ripping up the check!!!!
I ALSO JUST RECIEVED A LETTER FROM ATLANTIC MARKETING STATING THAT I WON 8,000.00 WITH A CHECK FOR 978.13, WITH INSTUCTIONS TO PAY TAXES AND PROCESSING FEES. IT IS SIGNED BY LLOYD FORMERLY PROMOTION MANAGER, AND LETTER IS FROM AJAX,ON. , THE CHECK IS FROM ISELUIN, NJ., THEIR HOURS ARE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 9-6 I'M GOING TO CALL IT JUST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE OTHER END BUT THE CHECK IS GETTING SHREDDED!!!
Atlantic Marketing strikes again
it sounded awsome till I notice on the check the P.O. Box to nowhere. there even great actors on the phone,but I know a scam when I see one,it would be I'll advised to participate in this strategic marketing , this scam looks real it is totally staged, and if you dont beleive me call lexie Wellington at 1-905-598-4378 or you can send them a letter at 183 wood north avenue ,P.O.BOX oh I dont care pick one somewhere in iselin, NJ, and the check really aint a check its a bill, notice on pay to the order or ( your NAME) notice how the p to pay is way to far down the check so my check say "AY TO THE ORDER OF TOM WELCH" LIKE ITS FRICKIN ITALIAN OR SOMETHING, like you owe them money,if I knew I was going to be in a mafia movie I would have brought a knife or a gun or something, so if this company got you I apologize ahead of time, good luck
I just today received a letter and cashier's check from Canada. Kingsway Marketing, cashier's check for $985.56, and $8,000 "winnings". I live in Alaska, we don't HAVE tax agents. I'm kind of offended they didn't try to scam me for more. Even Nigeria has more class.

I also received a letter and check from Kingsway Marketing. The CHECK they send you WILL NOT CLEAR YOUR BANK!!! Do NOT SEND them any MONEY!!!
My mother Recieved a letter and a check from a National Marketing Company... Stating she has won the lump sum of 8,000 dollars and a check for 986.77.. Saying she can cash it not asking for a bank number or to deposit it.. and pay the taxes at her tax agent or something of that sort... My mom is a elderly lady and her and my father do have money issues he is fighting to get his disability!... Why would ppl do this to inoccent ppl! Rude.. Not sure if this is a scam or not but would like to know!
Hi i got the same thing it is a shame im also disable and on a very small income it hurts bad this time of year geoff
I wish this was real!!!!!!!!!! but you know that gut feeling that something is fishy because you never did anything to get the ticket with you name attached like they say in the letter.... well no matter how many times you try and say it is real it not. They did do a great job with the check I have to say I have seen allot of scames and that checks looks real!!! just remember you can not win anything that you didn't enter in the first place. I really hope no one cashed this check if so im really really sorry!!!!

My check is from Oakdale Marketing, same name on the check Lloyd Formerly. The post mark is from Canada. The bank is in Texas. It says it is a cashiers check. Llooks real but I know it is a fake. BEWARE!
I received today a cashiers check from Oaksdale Marketing in Ontario Canada too. They are getting sneaky, but my first red flag was the letter came from canada, the cashiers checks issued from a bank in Texas, real bank too,but phoney as phoney could be. However, the fax number is a seattle wa fax number and if you proof read the letter and cashiers check there are typos that any professional marketing firm or bank would catch long before their checks were printed. I do feel for the lady with the children who got arrested Jan 08 2010. if there is anything I can do to help you please email at sjfarler@yahoo.com we need to stop these creeps. I work way to hard for what i have and i am not going to lose it for anyone. My husband on the other hand is lucky he has me cause he falls for everything. thats why he doesnt have control of anything. I guide him along daily.. I don't ever enter anything and all the cards they show on the bottom of the letter are not cards that I have or stores that I shop at frequently.
SO BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME OAKDALE MARKETING.....Im not the lucky winner your are ms lexie wilberman. This has been reported to the local authorities, financial institutions, and check cashing agencies and everyone else i can get through too..
Final piece if advise to all of you, if you infact won $8000.00 you would not have to prepay taxes or fees up front not even in the good old state of oregon where we have state income tax. you would be required to claim it on your 2010 tax returns..something to think about..beware and be safe!! jessica in OR

I called Claims Agent Debbie Siemens...and did deposit the check, however, I told them I would wait for it to clear, that I live in a tax free state and that I can pay my federal taxes without any help from them...I new it was to good to be true, I'm just waiting for the check to bounce...I had that gut feeling and didn't even enter the deposit in my check register.

A Scam!!!!!
got a letter as well saying i won $8000. with a check for $986.89. thought i won too cause im always doing those online consumer rewards from stores receipts. but i got suspicious when she said i had to pay taxes before i could get the money. my letter came from canada with letterhead of kingston marketing in newmarkert ontario.looks very tempting with that check and the logos of walmart sears target home depot etc, at the bottom of the letter. dont fall for them lousy ripoffs.
I just received a letter and cashiers check from Canada. The name they are using now is Kingston Marketing. The same scam, the check was for $986.89. my prize is $8000.00. 2/10/2010 Georgia
I received one of the letters from a Kingston Marketing in Newmarket ON. The check was for 986.89 :To the order of: the check is a cashiers check from Prosperity Bank. No address or anything, just Prosperity Bank. What a scam..

Kingston marketing 677 darkwood ave, newmarket, on m6n 7l9 contant Lexie Wilberman and promotion manager llyoyd formerly. its fraud the band said sooo.
those motherf#*&^ got me aswell!! they froze my bank account!! thank god i didnt take out or mail them any of the money. when they say when something is too good to be true it really is!!
Received a letter today. They are now using the name Direct Marketing Inc. 896 Medowvale Ave, Pickering, On. Sent a check for $989.56 with the promise to send $8000 balance! The lady on the phone was sincere and believeable. I wish there was a way to stop these scams. These people should be punished.
Just received my "check" and thought, RIGHT, it looked fishy and then read the letter, as soon as I saw the "pay the taxes" on it, I became suspicious. Check for $989.56. drawn on Prosperity Bank, from the Regency Marketing "people", Pickering ON.
WOW, this has and will probably scam MANY people.
Too bad.
I just got a letter in the mail today. It is from Regencey Marketing located at 896 Medowvale Ave, Pickering, ON and the check is from Prosperity Bank in Texas. My check is for $989.56 and the letter also says I owe taxes. The letter says to pay the taxes to your tax agent and then fax your tax payment receipt to the fax number.
I am happy I got online to research it!!!
Regencey Marketing 896 Medowvale Ave Pickering, On M7L 7 J9 is the newest. $989.56 send us money Lloyd Fomerly. Get a real job with this much effort you'd be wealthier than Bill Gates!!! All reporting agencies very difficult to get a hold of. Don't fall victim!!! You've been warned!!
Just rec'd letter & cashiers ck from Canada - REGENCEY MARKETING - 896 Medowvale Ave., Pickering, ON M7L7J9 w/905 ph# and a fax w/206 ph#
Ck for $989.56 drawn on Prosperity Bank w/no address.
Claims Agent is Alexia Wilson (905)598-6159 and letter signed L. Formerly, Promotion Manager
The first clue was the envelope had no return address... The second clue was I would never send money to get money.
They are smooth in that they state they are sending this check amount 'per your state regulations' which sounds very official and even the cashier's ck looks official but another clue when is no address.
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM
I received a check from Prosperity bank and it was from Regencey Marketing and I started looking up all these names because the check seem like it was not real. What I got in return was it was a scam. So when I called to Canada they hold on and never got back on the phone. I knew it was a scam when it read pay before money can be issued things like that are always scamish. Also Regencey was spelled wrong they are using some one elses logo called Regency Marketing who I contacted and they told me what type of business they were. So please be on the look out for these scams $989.56.
I just received a letter from Oakwood Marketing saying I won $8000 and the check enclosed was for $996.65. It's so obvious this is a scam. I never entered contest for one thing and if someoe is telling you opay money before yo get yur lump sum thenyou know it's a scam. When you win money you can pay taxes out of what you win ad there isn't a processing fee. Everyone BEWARE of this scam!!!
My letter is from Ridgewood Marketing Inc. The bank isd Prosperity Bank in Tx. I will be filing complaints with the post office, the bank and anyone else I can find that will care. They have a fax number listed for a Seattle, landline.
