Life Investors Insurance Company of America is an authentic business entity, there was a scam involving their name. The $4,988.00 check was fraudulent. I received the letter stating that I was the recipient of a $250,000.00 prize drawing and that this check was to cover expenses and “Non-Resident Canadian Taxes on my winnings. I’ve called the numbers provided in this letter spoke with a woman, who instructed me to deposit the check into my bank account. I stopped her in mid sentence told her I will NOT deposit the check until I did some research to find out if this is a scam. and, she hung up on me. I realized it was a scam after she hung up. This scam, if it takes enough people, will make these thieves rich as the funds sent to them will be authentic. The people that are scamed by this will be responsible for the funds if the check doesn’t clear their bank. Just letting everyone know these people are stating multiple company names and multiple bank names on the checks .I would like to know, what agencies are out there protecting consumers from these illegal frauds? And what can I do as a Consumer to help stop and prosecute them. I would like to help stick it to them as they have stuck it to all the people who actually fall for this Scam.

Got the letter too. The names are changed except for Jeff B. Reeds the address on the letter head is to the Quiznos Subs next to the Seattle Tacoma Airport. Life Investors Insurance Co of America merged with Transamerica in 2008 out of Texas. So they are probably using this so that if you look up the company only with out checking everything it looks legit. The Claim Agent is now Chris Austin with the phone number of (778) 859 3740 Which is to a cell phone in Vancover, B.C. The tax agent Jenny Carls who’s address listed on the letter is 704 Dusmire Ave. Manhattan, New York….I tried googling and using Yahoo Maps on that but got no where.

I got the same letter and carried it around for a month. Everybody would like to get 250 grand just given to them but we shoould know the world doesn’t work that way. I’m glad I found this website and people with the same experience to slap me back to reality.
