Equity Connect Co US office: 621 Water St. New York, NY 10002UK office: 7550 Rodney Rd London EnglandTel 1-778-714-0589Says to contact Ben Kennedy, letter from Mathew Bennett. Scam, Letter to senior citizens, hung up on me when i called number, heavy accent, could not understand New york New York
Senior client of mine shared with me this scam. He received a letter from Equity Connect Co. Saying she had won $500,000 dollars and there was a check enclosed for $7,7998.80 (check writte on the account of Primerica life insurance comany of Duluth GA.) Said that check was for the taxes and shipping and handling on getting the rest of the prize money to the "winner". Crazy what people will try to do. I reported a Copy of the check to Primerica Life Insurance Company, that is a legit company in Duluth Ga. incase there accounts have been compromised.
I called the number on the letter just to see what they would say, person that answered had very thick accent, could not understand him, and when I asked for him to repeat what he said he hung up on me.
So sad that people pry on people with these scams.
