I received a letter from trustnet saying that I was entitled to $75, 000.00. I called the claim agent to ask her about it & she said to call her back in 10 minutes. While I was waiting I looked up trustnet on the computer & it said this was a scam, with other people complaining about the same thing. I never called the agent back! The date on the letter was September 26, 2019. claim Number is SW-70-90-28. They enclosed a check for $1, 224.00. they said a processing fee and insurance fee of $1, 000.00 will be required before your lump sum winning can be sent to you. Trustnet also had another telephone number at the top of the letter...1-877-680-5935.The claims agent who is Samantha Fiaher telephone number is 1-877-765-9834. the letter is signed by W. Hunter, vice President Finance.

I just got the same letter. The check looks real from a bank called Wheaton bank and trust.
Has anyone tried to cash these checks?

I got a letter dated July 23 - same story as posts above. Sent a check that looks like it’s from a legitimate bank in Wheaton, IL. In the letter I am told to collect my prize, It will cost me $2000. for insurance and processing fees - and then my big check will show up via FedX or UPS. It is a scam - I checked it out throughly. Just want folks to know it’s still happening and the letter and check look very real. They are not.

I recieved the same letter but my agent was Maik Lopez . 07/07/2020., the check was written for 2, 524.50 for processing fee snd insurance. The total amount won was Us 250, 000.
Theses people really need to be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Now if it was us poor people that did something like that they would lock us up and throw away the key. Just saying.

I just got the same letter. Different Claims agent. Wheaton Bank and Trust Company is real and the routing number on the check I got for $2, 524.50 is correct. Has anyone tried to cash the check you got in the mail? Did it work?

I went to the bank to verify the check, and deposit it in a new account, if it was good. I was told it was a fraud. If I deposit the check, and it was a fraud, all my accounts would be closed. Then I looked closely at the letter and check, and did the following:

I got the same letter last week (last week of May 2022). I am to call LARRY WASHINGTON at [protected]. Letter says I am entitled to US $250,000.00. Got a check from Northern Trust Bank/ Dupage, 801 South Canal St, Chicago, IL 60607 . The check is for $2,675.500, since a processing fee and insurance fee of $2000.00 will be required to claim my winnings. I looked up this financial institution, which does exist, as long as it says ‘Dupage’. I called Northern Trust Bank at [protected], and was told to call [protected], to verify check. I called that number and they switched me to1-[protected], which is the benefits payment department. They said they only send payments are to retirees who have an account, so this check is a scam. They never send checks to anyone without an account.
