Description

My elderly friend received a letter in a plain envelope with no return address. Inside was a letter allegedly from Publishers Clearing House along with a check for $9,900.50, to be used for insurance and attorney fees. He was instructed to contact his claims manager prior to depositing the check in his financial institution. I researched the routing number, it is for a Wells Publishers Clearing House Imposter, and is a valid routing number. I researched the name of the "CFO" listed, Rickie Jenkins and found his name associated with a similar scam. The other name on the letter is Bob Crawford that was also associated with other reported on BBB scam tracker.
