The complaint is against an online dating profile

The complaint is a listing fraud posted on public forums or sites against an anonymous entity

The complaint is mobile text spam or smishing related against an anonymous entity

The company or person contact no longer exists

International boundaries

There is an apparent mail fraud going around. Names associated with that mail fraud include
- Michael Dundas
- Gregory Luck
- Jasmine Stephens

The scam includes a live check sent directly to the target (person to be scammed) with a letter explaining that they've won a certain amount. The company coordinating the payout is always foreign and most likely from the UK.

The target is told to not cash the check until they have contacted their claims agent. Once that is done the scam seems to work like this:

- The fictitious claims agent tells the target to deposit the check
- They are also told to wire the amount of money to the claims agent
- The check that they cashed bounces for insufficient funds (or no account)
- The scammers take off with the wired funds from the target

This is a hard scam to pin down because all of the names used are changing:
- The name of the company - Great Lakes Bottled Water Co. and others
- The claims agent - Michael Dundas and many others
- The bank the check is written against - Chemical bank and many others

If you do receive this check and decide to cash it, do not send any funds to the claims agent until the check clears (it probably won't).

Good luck.
