Rulon S. Howells, Registrar/The Equity Funding Group

[lil ol lady]

Another scam out of Richmond British Columbia Canada.
Incidentally their return address is the same as "The Equity Funding Group" and that is PO Box 97198 STN Main in Richmond B.C.
We recieved two mailings today from these companies both offering us the opporutnity to cash in on $1,000,000.00 dollars that is if we send them fees. One company wanted $20 and the other $25. Apparently our names were taken from a "data base" and I am beginning to wonder (after a thorough read of Fraudwatchers) if the source of the database was information that we submitted to companies such as Orford collection, Wallace and Van Warren, and Excel Catalogues and that information was shared not only with the above mentioned companies but a number of equally questionable places in the United States such as the Award Processing Center in Kansas City MO. Has anyone else received these types of mailings? I have written a few nasty letters to these companies asking to be taken off their mailing lists but to no avail. I finally wrote each of them a letter and thanked them for the notification, asking them to send me the money I had won and I would in return send them their fees. This put an end to about three of the companies and I am hoping the four letters I sent out today will do the same thing.

Hello lil ol lady and welcome to Fraudwatchers!

Another simple way of dealing with these that is rather cost and effort free is to simply dump the unopened letters in your recycle bin.
